Title:
MEDAL GAME MACHINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/025458
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The trouble taken to compute the payout ratio is saved even if a large number of medals are put into a medal game machine when the payout ratio is adjusted, and the work is facilitated. In a payout ratio computing mode, the payout switching mechanism (140) is set in a forward inclined state (the state shown by dotted lines), and the payout ratio P is computed by alternatingly repeating (1) an ejection period for which a passage switching mechanism (150) is set in an erected state (the state shown by dotted liens), the medals (M) in a bonus medal container (112) for bonus are ejected into a game space (PA), and the number of ejected medals A is counted according to the detection by a bonus sensor (116) and (2) a collection period for which the passage switching mechanism (150) is set in an inclined state (the state shown by solid lines), the medals (M) in the payout medal container (122) are collected in the bonus medal container (112), and the number of collected medals B (the number of medals fallen from a game field (260) for the ejection period) is counted according to the detection by a payout sensor (126).
