Increases the rolling speed of the game ball and guides the game ball to the intermediate point of the guide passages 102 and 104 as quickly as possible, while rolling the game ball from the intermediate point of the guide passages 102 and 104 to the downstream end. It becomes possible to slow down the speed and to show the player the rolling of the game ball.

  Furthermore, since no protrusion is provided from the upstream end in the flow direction of the game ball in the guide passages 102 and 104 to the intermediate point, the rolling speed of the game ball can be advantageously ensured in such a region. Therefore, even if the rolling speed is weakened by the game ball coming into contact with the protrusion 112, it is possible to advantageously avoid the stopping of the game ball in the guide passages 102 and 104, thereby the guide passage. Ball clogging at 102 and 104 can be advantageously avoided.

  In the present embodiment, since the protrusions 112 are provided on the outer peripheral wall surfaces 116 and 120 of the guide passages 102 and 104, the game balls in contact with the protrusions 112 meander in the flow-down direction of the game balls. It is possible to guide to the downstream end. This makes it possible to lengthen the rolling time of the game ball as compared with the case where the game ball is guided along the outer peripheral side walls 116, 120 of the guide passages 102, 104. As a result, the player It becomes possible to give more enjoyment to see the movement of the game ball.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each of the guide passages 102 and 104 is formed to extend around the central recess 72 over a half circumference, and among the plurality of protrusions 112, the most upstream side in the flow-down direction of the game ball. Since the provided projections 112 protrude from the side wall surfaces 116 and 120 on the outer peripheral side of the guide passages 102 and 104, the game balls guided through the guide passages 102 and 104 from the upstream end to the intermediate point are caused by centrifugal force. When flowing along the outer peripheral side wall surfaces 116 and 120 of the guide passages 102 and 104, the rolling direction of the game ball is changed to the inner peripheral side wall surfaces 114 and 118 of the guide passages 102 and 104. This makes it possible to lengthen the rolling time of the game ball.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the protrusion 112 provided on the most upstream side in the flow direction of the game ball among the plurality of protrusions 112 is positioned near the intermediate point of the guide passages 102 and 104. It is possible to change the rolling direction of the game ball immediately after that, thereby further increasing the rolling time of the game ball.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this is an illustration to the last, Comprising: This invention is not limited at all by the specific description in this Embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the guide passages 102 and 104 are provided so as to extend halfway around the outside of the central recess 72, but the length of the guide passage is longer than the half circumference of the central recess 72. It may be.
