When the gate mechanism of the ball discharging mechanism is opened, the ball will enter the transmission track. A turntable is a rotatable disk body. A plurality of grooves arranged in a ring shape are formed on the outer periphery of the turntable. When the turntable rotates, each groove will pass through the output end of the transmission track in sequence, so that the ball can fall into one of the grooves. A counter records a corresponding value according to the rotational position of the turntable detected by a turntable position sensor. A goal sensor is used to detect the ball in the groove of the turntable. When the turntable rotates so that the ball is detected by the goal sensor, a processor reads the value of the counter, and the value corresponds to a specific reward. The spheroid that falls into the groove is driven by the rotating disk and returns to the ball-exiting mechanism.
