A gaming machine has a variable display unit that variably displays symbols and a processor that controls a display made through the variable display unit. The processor controls the variable display unit so as to display one or more variable display groups each including variable display portions in which the symbols are variably displayed. The processor controls a progress of a multiple variable display game which is given through the variable display unit displaying the variable display groups in each of which the symbols are variably displayed.

1 . A gaming machine comprising a variable display unit that variably displays a plurality of symbols and a processor that controls a display made through the variable display unit, 
 wherein the processor:    controls the variable display unit so as to display one or more variable display groups each including a plurality of variable display portions in which the symbols are variably displayed; and    controls a progress of a multiple variable display game which is given through the variable display unit displaying the variable display groups in each of which the symbols are variably displayed.    
   
   
       2 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor: 
 determines whether the variable display unit should display one variable display group or a plurality of variable display groups; and    controls the variable display unit so as to display a plurality of variable display groups when having determined that a plurality of variable display groups should be displayed.    
   
   
       3 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor: 
 determines, when having controlled the variable display unit so as to display a plurality of variable display groups, for each of the variable display groups whether a winning is made or not and which payout number should be given; and    sums up payout numbers thus determined for the respective variable display groups.    
   
   
       4 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor: 
 determines whether a base game should shift into a bonus game;    shifts the base game into the bonus game when having determined that the base game should shift into the bonus game; and    controls a progress of the multiple variable display game when having shifted the base game into the bonus game.    
   
   
       5 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor: 
 determines whether a plurality of the variable display groups have been displayed or not; and    controls, when having determines that a plurality of variable display groups have been displayed, the display unit so as to switchingly display stopped display images, each including the symbols which have been stopped, of the respective variable display groups.    
   
   
       6 . The gaming machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the processor controls the display unit so that the symbols included in each of the stopped display images are visible to a player.  
   
   
       7 . The gaming machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the processor controls the display unit so as to switchingly display at regular intervals the stopped display images of the respective variable display groups.  
   
   
       8 . The gaming machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the processor controls the display unit so as to display, among the stopped display images of the variable display groups, an image including a winning symbol which indicates a winning in the multiple variable display game.
