Of course, a single-player game machine may be used, but if a plurality of games can be played, competition with other players can be achieved, and the space at the game hall can be effectively used, so that the game machine is used for four players. The game machine main body forms a game space 2 surrounded by transparent glass 2 and the like, so that the inside can be seen.

A circular prize drop 5 is opened on the bottom surface 4 of the game space, and four turntable support shafts 6 are erected on the circumference thereof. The rotary disk receiving portions 7 for supporting the rotary disk 9 are provided at four positions for one rotary disk support shaft 6. Each turntable receiving portion 7 is provided with a donut-shaped turntable 9 having a prize drop hole 8 having the same diameter as the prize drop hole 5 in the center, the inner peripheral portion thereof being supported. One of the rotating disk support shafts 6 is a rotating disk driving device 10, which is rotated by a motor 11 provided at a lower portion as shown in FIG. And the rotating disk 9 is constantly rotated.

In the present embodiment, the prize placement section is a rotary plate, but it may be constituted by a reciprocating flat plate having a serial shape or a circulating type conveyor. Also, the prize placement unit itself may be fixed.

Each rotary disk 9 has a prize 12 such as a stuffed animal. FIG. 1 shows the state of only one of the four rotating disks 9.

Around the turntable 9, up and down support columns 13 are provided in parallel with the turntable support shaft 6, and four sets of upright columns 13 are provided so as to be rotatable by a lower motor 14. Is installed so that both ends thereof can be penetrated by the support 13 so that the support can be moved along the support 13. The prize removing device 15 is configured such that one of the two columns 13 rotates to receive power and ascend. Furthermore, the prize removing device 15
Has a slender prize pushing member 16 protruding from the inside.

As shown in the figure, a recess 21 is formed on the surface of the turntable 9 so that the prize 12 does not roll or flow sideways. In addition, since the turntable 9 is divided for each prize, the prizes 12 can be easily arranged. When the prizes 12 are arranged one by one, the player can easily aim at the desired prize. Also, the recess 21
Alternatively, a stopper or the like may be used. However, it is not as interesting as a game because it can easily remove prizes.

In order to enhance the game, the prize pushing member 16 is made of a flexible thin metal plate 22.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the prize removing device 15. The prize pushing member 16 is usually used for the prize removing device 15.
When the push button 18b is pressed, the prize removing device 15
The driving device 24 in the inside operates to rotate the drum 23, and the metal plate 22 is pushed out of the premium removing device 15. The metal plate 22 is provided with a convex having a slight warp in a vertical direction, and is wound around the drum 23 in a state where the warp is stretched. Therefore, a certain degree of rigidity can be obtained, and the prize pushing member 16 is protruded straight without being bent only by the weight thereof. Further, a prize contact portion 25 is provided at the tip of the protruding metal plate 22 to make it easier to transmit a force to the prize 12 than when the metal plate 22 is used alone.

Since the prize pushing member 16 is formed by making the flexible metal plate 22 vertical, the prize pushing member 16 is strong against a vertical force, but easily bendable against a horizontal force. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the prize 12 comes into contact with the metal plate 22 from the side where the metal plate 22 has completely extended, the prize 12 is easily bent and does not hinder the rotation of the prize 12.

In addition to the above embodiment, the prize pushing member 16 may be formed by using a bar and extruding the same by a motor or the like. You have to have enough space.
