Abstract: A running body having an animal model with four legs such as a horse model for a horse racing game, and a racing game apparatus using a plurality of the running bodies, are disclosed. Each running body comprises a movable body which can be transferred along a track formed on a table, and an animal model having four legs, of which the fore and hind legs can be swung back and forth accompanying the movement of the movable body and which can move on or above the track. The animal model comprises: a pair of upper limbs of fore legs, each of which conducts a predetermined swinging back and forth on a shaft attached to a barrel of the animal model; a pair of lower limbs of fore legs, each of which conducts a predetermined swinging back and forth on a shaft attached to a lower portion of the upper limb, by the swinging of the pair of upper limbs; and a swinging mechanism for swinging the pair of upper limbs by changing the transfer movement of the movable body to a swinging movement.

Abstract: A coin payout apparatus in a gaming device. The apparatus includes a coin hopper and a coin guide connected to the hopper for successively delivering coins in edge-to-edge relationship. A rotary arm is pivotally provided at the coin guide and has one end rotatably providing a coin ejector roller. The rotary arm is normally biased toward the coin in the coin guide by a biasing member. A supplemental coin ejecting member is provided at a position confronting the ejector roller. When the maximum diameter portion of the coin passes through the space defined between ejector roller and the supplemental coin ejecting member, the coin is urgedly discharged by the biasing force of the biasing member.

Abstract: A coin exchanging machine has a coin case disposed at the bottom of a casing for accommodating a plurality of coin bundles, a coin pushing mechanism for pushing laterally a row of coin bundles piled up in the coin case, and a coin transferring mechanism for receiving a row of coin bundles from the coin case by pushing the coin bundles by the coin pushing mechanism and for feeding the coin bundles one by one into a coin accommodating space in response to the discharge of the coin bundles.
