<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine including a starter prize winning device which can improve the precision of detecting the passage of game balls along with a reduced space in the height direction by eliminating the need for the complicated bending of the discharge path. <P>SOLUTION: The starter prize winning device 33 is provided with a depthwise path 402 for guiding the game balls entering a ball entry slot 400 deeper inside, a lateral path 404 for guiding the game balls sideways to be discharged along the rear of the game board and a passage detection switch 406 for detecting the game balls passing through the lateral path 404. This can eliminates a downward path to allow a reduction in the longitudinal size accordingly and the arrangement of the passage detection switch 406 in the lateral path 404 behind the depthwise path 402 enables the separation of the position of the passage detection switch 406 from the surface of the game board to hinder the fraudulent attempts. The arrangement of the passage detection switch 406 in the lateral path 404 poses no problem of making the depthwise path 402 protrude to the rear side of the game board further to accommodate the thickness of the passage detection switch 406. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
