<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further arouse a player's interest by extending a waiting time when laterally sorting and dropping a game ball to the front side of a game board by means of a stage. <P>SOLUTION: The game machine includes a special pattern starting unit 20 provided in a game area 15 of a game board 12 and the stage 34 disposed above the special pattern starting unit 20 to laterally sort a game ball from a ball guide passage 38 and drop it to the front side of the game board 12. The stage 34 includes an oscillation body 42 for receiving and rolling the game ball from the ball guide passage 38, the oscillation body being supported so as to be oscillatable around a pivot 41; and a drive unit 51 which drives the oscillation body 42 around the pivot 41 to oscillate the oscillation body reciprocatingly. The oscillation body 42 includes a first discharge opening 39 for discharging a game ball in the oscillation body 42 to a position where it can easily enter the special pattern starting unit 20 and a second discharge opening 40 for discharging the game ball to a position where it hardly enters the special pattern starting unit 20. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
