In a gaming machine, a speaker outputs music at a predetermined time when it is determined that a result of a game satisfies a predetermined condition. A memory stores a program corresponding to a data sheet including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The plurality of columns include a reel field being predefined to be associated with the reels and including a command for controlling the reels and a trigger field including a triggering condition for executing a command of a corresponding row in synchronization with the music. A controller determines the result of the game. Each time any one of a plurality of triggering conditions for a plurality of rows is satisfied, the controller controls the reels according to a command of a row having the satisfied triggering condition.
