Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a competing game tool in which a close game can be enjoyed regardless of sex and age without requiring technique or physical strength. SOLUTION: A gate 3 closed by the operation of a timer 7 is provided on a goal 1 of a course formed of an independent traveling passage 6, a turning passage 4, a tapered straight passage 5, and an aligning passage 2, and the start end part of the independent traveling passage is determined as a start line, the start to the goal or the aligning passage is formed with a gentle down gradient, the whole traveling passage is inclined to the inside, and a switch 9 for starting a game ball 8 is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an amusement game machine which competes for the order of arrival at a start timing having a structure in which the order of arrival can be easily determined.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a race-related game involves competing for a goal in a short time, requires skill and physical strength, and it is difficult to judge the finishing order in a race in which the race is close.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This game machine is a game machine having a structure capable of providing a competitive race without requiring any particular skill or physical strength, and of being able to easily determine the order of arrival.

[0004]

First, the structure of a game machine will be described with reference to the drawings. A circuit is connected to several independent running paths parallel to each other, and a tapered runway connection is formed at the end of the circuit, and the end is defined as a goal. The runway is set to the width of one ball, and an aligned track with the same runway width is provided in front of the goal, which is a flying runway. The starting point of the independent running path is the starting point, a gentle downhill slope is formed from the start to the flying track, and the entire running path is inclined inward. A gate will be provided at the goal point that will be closed by a timer. A ball stopper is provided at the start point, so that it can be sent with the start button.

[0005]

When the gate provided on the goal is opened, the hand of the timer rotates, and when the gate rotates once, the gate closes. Each competitor watches the timer so that the ball arrives immediately after the gate closes, and measures the timing of pressing the start button.
If the timing is too early, the ball passes through the goal gate and enters the alignment path (flying track). Even if it is too late, it will be difficult to get one. The order of arrival determination is as follows. The ball immediately after the closed gate is one, and in order 2,
3 and 4. There is a rule that the earlier the ball enters the flying track earlier, the worse the landing order.

[0006]

[Results of consideration] When the start button is pressed, the ball naturally rolls on a gentle slope and takes a certain amount of time to reach the goal.
Even if each competitor starts the ball at the exquisite timing, the time to reach the goal changes with the collision of the balls in the circuit, and the balls are lined up in any race where they are in close contact, and the goal is clearly ordered Has a structure determined by In this game, the race is developed with a single start button, so physical strength and skill are not required at all, and you can enjoy races that are close to each other regardless of age or gender. However, in order to continue to win, it is necessary to negotiate advanced start timing with the opponent.
