In addition, the rotation speed of the rotating body 44 is set so as to rotate six times in one minute, for example, and when the ball holding portion 43 matches the waiting portion 46, the ball hitting the ball hitting the waiting portion 46 is held. It is received by the portion 43 and is made to flow out from the lower outlet port 47.
Is provided with a winning ball detector 48.

Next, the operation of the winning device 1 of this embodiment will be described. In the winning device 1 of the present embodiment, the rotating disk 23 is normally located on the front surface of the mounting plate 10 as shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 4, and the motor 27 always keeps a constant speed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Is spinning at. Therefore, in this state, all hit balls falling from above are guided downward by the cover frame 24 except for the balls entering the ball receiving portion 25.

On the other hand, in this state, when the hitting ball B enters the ball receiving portion 25 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 and falls into the distributing passage 32a of the rotary disk 23 at a proper timing, the hitting ball B is first divided into the distributing passage 32a as shown by the chain line in the figure. While flowing in a downward direction, and then, along with the rotation of the rotating disk 23, the distribution passage 32
After moving to b, the distribution passage 32b is further meandered and continues to flow down. Then, when flowing down the distribution passages 32a and 32b while meandering, a slight change is added to the falling speed or the rotating state of the ball, and the flowing down occurs in an unpredictable state, resulting in the V winning opening 14. The prize will be won or the prize will be distributed to one of the normal winning openings 15a and 15b at delicate timing.

When the ball that has entered the ball receiving portion 25 falls into the distribution passage 32b, the ball moves to the distribution passage 32c as the rotary disk 23 rotates, and the ball that falls into the distribution passage 32c distributes into the distribution passage 32a. In the same manner as described above, the coins are distributed to either the V winning opening 14 or the normal winning openings 15a and 15b to win the prize. Further, when the hit ball that has entered the ball receiving portion 25 falls on the peripheral surface of the rotary disk 23, the ball is guided to the ball passage 35 and stops at the normal winning port 15a or 15b.

Then, when the hit ball sorted by the rotary disk 23 wins the V winning opening 14, it is detected by the winning ball detector 33, and the opening / closing piece 3 of the specific winning opening 39 is detected by the detection signal.
8, 38 are opened for a fixed time (for example, 6 seconds) so that a hit ball can be received. Then, in this state, the hit ball is the opening / closing piece 38,
When the player enters the interval 38 and is detected by the winning ball detector 41, the right as a "big hit" is generated.

On the other hand, when there is a hit ball waiting in the waiting portion 46 of the rotary chucker 40 in the right generation state,
When the ball holding portion 43 of the rotating body 44 coincides with the standby portion 46, the hit ball is taken into the ball holding portion 43, carried to the lower outlet 47, and detected by the winning ball detector 48.

Then, the right of "big hit" is confirmed by the detection signal of the winning ball detector 48, and at the same time, the winning device 1
The forward / reverse rotation motor 18 is energized to rotate the cylindrical body 21 several times and then stopped. As a result, the engagement pin 31 slides in the spiral groove 20, the support plate 22 retracts from the solid line position in FIG. 4 to the chain line position in FIG. 4, and the rotary disk 23 and the cover frame 24 retract from the front surface of the mounting plate 10. It becomes a state. Therefore, at this time, all hit balls falling from above are received by the ball receiving frame 12 and processed as winning balls.

The time during which the support plate 22 is retracted is until a preset fixed time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed, or until a fixed number (for example, 10) of hit balls are won, and this predetermined value is set. When the time elapses or a predetermined number of hit balls are won, the forward / reverse rotation motor 18 is energized and the cylindrical body 21
Reversely rotates, the support plate 22 advances from the position indicated by the chain line in FIG. 4 to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG.
Return to the original position of the projecting position on the front surface of. Thereafter, every time a hit ball is detected by the winning ball detector 48 of the rotary chucker 40, the movement of the rotary disc 23 to move forward and backward is continued for a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times) to give a great benefit to the player.

7 to 9 show another embodiment. The rotary disk 23 has three ball receiving recesses 49, 50 and 50 formed on the outer periphery thereof as shown in FIG. 49 is deeper than the other ball receiving recesses 50, 50. On the other hand, the support plate 22 is provided with an outflow hole 51 that matches the depth of the ball receiving recess 49. Support plate 2
A gutter member 52 that guides the hitting ball to the rear is formed on the back surface of 2 in conformity with the outflow hole 51, and the winning ball detector 5 is provided at the end thereof.
3 is provided.

The ball receiving concave portion 49 plays the same role as the V winning opening 14 of the first embodiment. Therefore, it is sufficient to form the normal winning opening 54 at the central position of the ball receiving frame 12.
The other structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, the hit ball that has entered the ball receiving recess 49 of the rotary disk 23 is accommodated in the bottom of the ball as shown by the chain line in FIG.
It flows out to the back of No. 2 and is detected by the winning ball detector 53, and the right as a "big hit" is generated. In addition, the ball receiving recess 50,
The batted ball that has entered 50 drops into the ball passage 35 while being conveyed downward, and only stops at the normal winning opening 54.
