-
displaying a plurality of images on a display screen of a display; receiving a position signal corresponding to a touch position from the touch panel when a touch operation of a player on any of the plurality of images displayed on the display is performed; determining, by a controller, whether the touch position of the touch panel is touched during a predetermined period of time; and controlling, by the controller, the display to change a display content of the display screen by moving a display position of a predetermined image, which has been previously determined without being selected by the player, to a desired position in accordance with the position signal received from the touch panel, thereby showing an image which has been hidden below the predetermined image at a position different from the desired position, to the player, when detecting that a period of time during which the desired position of the touch panel is continuously touched exceeds the predetermined period of time, the predetermined image being a movable image among the plurality of images. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. An image display apparatus comprising:
-
a display that displays a plurality of images including an operation window image which has been previously determined without being selected by the player; a touch panel that outputs a position signal corresponding to a touch position; and a controller that receives a touch operation on the operation window image, determines whether the touch position of the touch panel is touched during a predetermined period of time, and controls the display to change a display content of the display by selectively moving a display position of the operation window image to a desired position in accordance with the position signal received from the touch panel, thereby showing another image which has been hidden behind the operation window image at a position different from the desired position, to the player, when detecting that a period of time during which the desired position of the touch panel is continuously touched reaches the predetermined period of time.

8. A gaming apparatus comprising:
-
a display that includes a display screen for displaying an image; a touch panel that outputs a position signal corresponding to a touch position touched by a player; and a controller that receives a touch operation for inputting a desired position of a moving destination of the image, and controls the display to change a display content of the display screen by moving a display position of the image to the desired position of the moving destination in accordance with the position signal received from the touch panel when detecting that a period of time during which the desired position of the touch panel is continuously touched reaches a predetermined period of time, wherein the image includes an operation window image, and wherein the desired position of the moving destination is a position for allowing another image which has been hidden behind the operation window image at a position different from the desired position, to not be hidden by the operation window.
