<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine including a ball transfer device capable of executing presentation using spherical bodies at optionally selected timing. <P>SOLUTION: The game machine includes: a device body 51 mounted on a game board to enclose enclosed balls S in an internally defined enclosing space 53; a ball transfer member 60 for circulating the enclosed balls S enclosed in the enclosing space 53 of the device body 51 within the enclosing space 53; a drive motor 55 for driving the ball transfer member 60; a position detection sensor 58 capable of detecting a reference position of the ball transfer member 60; and a front wall 85 disposed in the device body 51 for allowing the enclosed balls S circulated by the ball transfer member 60 to be visually recognized. Whether the position detection sensor detects the reference position in a preset time or not is determined, and when the reference position is not detected or when the reference position is continuously detected for more than the preset time by the position detection sensor, the drive motor 55 is controlled/driven to reverse the direction of circulation of the enclosed balls S by the ball transfer member 60 in a negative direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
