The counter which outputs the separation signal of the prize G1 when the time is reached is incorporated.

  The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

(Overall flow until the prize is paid out)
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process until the prize is paid out by the prize dispensing device. The user first confirms whether or not favorite prizes G1 to G5 are displayed in the payout prize display section 20 of the prize payout apparatus 1. Here, although the prize G1 is the desired prize, for example, when the color is not preferred, the user presses the rotation button 41 to drive the prize payout mechanism unit 200 (S1).

  The prize payout mechanism unit 200 drives the drive motor 229 while the rotary button 41 is being pressed to cause the hook member 210 to travel along the guide rail unit 202 in a predetermined direction (S2).

Arm 220 of the detection position _{P 1,} when contact with the hook member 210 hanging prize G1, the supporting portions 220A to rotate in the shaft, the photosensor 221 is shielded OFF signal control unit 70 by the Input (S3: YES). Further, the control unit 70 continues energization of the drive motor 229 until an OFF signal is input from the photo sensor 221 (S3: NO). When receiving the OFF signal, the controller 70 stops energization of the drive motor 229 and stops the drive motor 229 (S4). As a result, the hook member 210 stops traveling, and the hook member 210 that suspends the prize G1 is disposed in the payout prize display section 20.

  When the user confirms that the desired prize G1 is displayed in the payout prize display section 20 (S5: YES), the user then challenges the game (S6). When the desired prize G1 is not displayed, the operations of steps 1 to 4 are repeatedly executed (S5: NO).

  When the user clears the game (S7: YES). The controller 70 energizes the drive motor 229 to cause the hook member 210 to travel (S8). Further, the control unit 70 counts the pulse-shaped OFF signal input from the photo sensor 222 with a counter (S9). The counter continues counting the OFF signal until the count value reaches a predetermined value (S10: NO), and outputs a separation signal for the prize G1 when the count value reaches the predetermined value (S10: YES).

The controller 70 energizes the solenoid 225 when receiving a prize G1 disconnection signal. As a result, the solenoid 225 is driven to retract the plunger 225A, and the arm 224 joined by the pin 225B is rotated clockwise around the support portion 224A. The rod 223 disposed at the tip of the arm 224 protrudes toward the guide rail 202 based on the rotation of the arm 224 (S11). Rod 223 which projects, by contact with the rod abutting section 254B of the hook member 210 which suspend the prize G1 selected by the user, is dropped disconnect the prize G1 from the hook body 210B by disconnecting position P _3. The prize G1 separated from the hook main body 210B is paid out to the prize outlet 21.

Next, the control unit 70, prize G1 in disconnection position P ₃ is detected by the detection position P ₄ whether or not successfully detached. When the prize G1 is separated, the swing arm 252 of the hook member 210 is lowered by its own weight. Detection piece 252A is disposed at a position deviated from the detection height _{L 2} of the arm 226 shown in Figure 6 (a). Further, when the prize G1 is not disconnected, the detection piece 252A of the swing arm 252 to detect the height _{L 2} of the arm 226 is disposed. From this, the success or failure of separation of the prize G1 is determined by monitoring the OFF signal of the photo sensor 227. When the prize G1 is normally separated, the operation ends (S12: YES). If the prize G1 is not cut off, the operation is accepted again from step 1 as an error (S12: NO).

  In step 7, the operation is also ended when the user cannot clear the game (S7: NO).

(Game flow)
FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a game executed by the prize payout device. Below, the flow of the game in step 6 will be described.

  First, the user inserts coins from the coin insertion unit 5 (S60). Based on the insertion of coins, the display panel 42 of the stage 4 displays the number of times the game can be executed. For example, assuming that one game is set at 50 yen, when the user inserts a 100 yen coin, “2” indicating that the game can be executed twice is displayed on the display panel.

  Next, when the control unit 70 inputs an appropriate signal of coins inserted from the coin selector 73A or 73B of the coin insertion unit 5, the control unit 70 outputs voice guidance on how to proceed with the game from the speaker 7 and is provided on the front panel 3. The game lamps 31A of the game zones 30A to 30E are blinked at a constant cycle. The user stops blinking by operating the game button 40 when the game lamp 31A of the game zones 30A to 30E holding the desired prize G1 is turned on (S61). Here, it is assumed that the user desires a prize G1 corresponding to the game zone 30A (S62).

  Next, the control unit 70 causes the three game lamps 31B to blink at a constant cycle. The user stops flashing by operating the game button 40 for the three game lamps 31B flashing in the game zone 30A when the lucky lamp 310 is turned on according to the voice guidance (S63).

  Here, if the lucky lamp 310 is successfully turned on (S64: YES), the control unit 70 blinks the five game lamps 31C at a constant cycle. The user stops the blinking by operating the game button 40 for the five blinking game lamps 31C according to the voice guidance when the lucky lamp 311 is turned on (S65).

  Here, if the lucky lamp 311 is successfully turned on (S66: YES), the control unit 70 pays out the prize G1 (S67).

  When the balance remains (S68: YES), the control unit 70 notifies the user by voice guidance that a new game can be executed and executes the new game (S69). When no balance remains (S68: NO), the control unit 70 ends the game.
