Abstract: A spiral rod that is rotated by a motor is disposed in a fall passage connected to a token chute 4. A second special game medium AM2 is captured at an opening W2 between the spiral rod and a rear wall positioned diagonally rearward from the spiral rod. A first special game medium AM1 is captured at an opening W1 between the spiral rod and a rear fall guide, the opening W1 being positioned on a downstream side of the opening W2. A token M passes through the openings W1 and W2 and is received by a token reception section. The special game media that have been captured are transferred due to the spiral movement of the spiral rod. The special game media are discriminated by a first rear side opening and a second rear side opening, and separately received by guide slopes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a medal game machine that makes it possible, for a medal to move forward with good directionality, thus increasing the playability of an aiming game. The configuration is such that a medal (14) fired from a shooting device (16) is used to shoot at a target. The shooting device (16) comprises a shooting section (24) that loads the medal (14) in a vertical orientation and a push-out means (30) that pushes out and fires the medal (14) loaded into the shooting section (24) A pressing roller (40) that presses against the upper portion of the medal (14) that is loaded into the shooting section (24) is provided in the shooting section (24) so that, when the medal (14) is being pushed out by the push-out means (30), it is shot out escaping from the pressing roller (40).

Abstract: A ball game apparatus has a plurality of balls, a spiral rail for automatically delivering the balls, a field portion on which the balls delivered by the spiral rail can roll with a given degree of freedom, winning pocket portions and invalid pockets formed over the field portion for receiving a plurality of the balls in each of them, a CCD camera for counting the number of balls received in the winning pocket portions and a calculator for calculating a score from the number of balls counted by the CCD camera.
