PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine with less restriction to the direction to guide game balls and excellent in the easiness for a layout as well as in its excitement.SOLUTION: A game machine includes a game ball transfer mechanism comprising: ball-receiving surfaces 153R configured to be movable so as to be able to perform certain repetitive motions (horizontal link movement); and a driving source (motor) for giving driving force to perform the repetitive motions of the ball-receiving surfaces 153R. The game ball transfer mechanism guides a game ball M8 to the ball-receiving surfaces 153R in such a manner to be supported thereby and, due to the repetitive motions of the ball-receiving surfaces 153R, the game ball M8 is transferred from a prescribed position to a different position higher than the position. The ball-receiving surfaces 153R are formed on an orbit member capable of rotating along an orbit setting its center in a shaft substantially vertical to the transfer direction of the game ball M8 and extending in the lateral direction, that is on movable step-like walls 153 of a link member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 43 |
