The present invention can accurately stop a reel at a target position and, at
the same time, can offer a wide variety of reel stop process. A motor stop control
device includes a stepping motor 70 having two pair of excitation phases
as a drive source of a reel which is stopped in response to a manipulation command
from the outside and displays a plurality of symbols. The motor stop control device
further includes a speed reduction transmission mechanism 700 which transmits
the rotation of the stepping motor 70 to a rotary shaft which rotates the
reel 3 at a predetermined speed reduction ratio, and a main CPU 40
which, when a command for stopping the stepping motor 70 is generated in
response to the command from the outside, selects either one of reel stop control
processing 1 which executes a stop control based on all-phase excitation
with respect to the stepping motor 70 and reel stop control processing 2
which executes a control to reduce a rotational speed of the stepping motor 70
and, thereafter, executes the stop control based on two-phase excitation with respect
to the stepping motor 70.
