Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prize acquisition method and a prize acquisition game machine for a prize acquisition game machine in which a game player operates a movable part to obtain a prize such as a stuffed animal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various kinds of prize acquisition game machines. A game player operates a transfer device to grab an arbitrary prize with a gripping device, and operates the transfer device again to drop the prize into a discharge part. It is common to get prizes such as stuffed animals.

[0003]

However, the conventional prize acquisition game machine as described above has the following problems. That is, the main part of the game nature of the conventional prize acquisition game machine, that is, the interesting part is in the operation of holding the prize in the first half of the game, and after passing this, the game is almost finished. However, in this case, if it fails, the game player loses interest in trying again.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The means of the present invention taken to solve the above problems are as follows. In the first means, a step of holding the prize by the holding means,
A prize acquisition method for a prize acquisition game machine, comprising the steps of rocking the prize by the swinging means and releasing the holding of the prize by the holding means and releasing it to the discharge section.

In the second means, the holding means uses magnetic force, which is the method of acquiring the prize in the prize acquiring game machine according to the first means.

[0006] In the third means, the prize acquisition in the prize acquisition game machine includes the step of supplying the prize in a moving state and the step of bouncing the supplied prize by the rocking body and releasing it to the discharge portion. Is the way.

The fourth means is a prize acquisition game machine in which a case body, a swinging device provided in the case body, a prize storage section, and a prize are provided outside the case body. The rocking device includes a rocking body and a holding means provided on the rocking body and capable of holding and releasing a prize. The rocking body and the holding means are provided outside the case body. The prize acquisition game machine is operated by an operation means.

In the fifth means, the holding means uses magnetic force, and is the prize acquisition game machine according to the fourth means.

A sixth means is a prize acquisition game machine, which comprises a case body, a swinging device provided on the case body, a prize storage section, and a prize supply device.
The swinging device has a swinging body, and the swinging body is operated by an operating means provided outside the case body. A prize acquisition game machine in which a prize can be supplied in a moving state within a swing locus of an oscillating body.

The oscillating means for oscillating the oscillating body is, for example, a direct manual operation using a wire or the like, an indirect manual operation in which an oscillating machine or the like is operated by an operating lever, an electric oscillating machine or a fan.
