The game ball launched into the game area A rolls down while hitting game members such as game nails and the ceiling passage 33.
At this time, when a game ball launched into the game area A enters the left or right game ball entrance 25, the game ball is transferred from the game ball entry 25 to the back side passage (back side game area B) 26. It is guided by the movement, and rolls down in the downstream side passage 26 in the downstream direction.
As described above, when the game ball rolls down in the back side passage 26, the game ball rolls down while colliding with the rib 36 provided on the inner surface of the base member 34 of the back side passage 26. However, according to this embodiment, even if a ball pressure of the game ball is applied to the rib 36, the ball pressure is absorbed by the concave groove 35 of the concavo-convex structure provided on the base member surface 34a, and the ball pressure is measured. Since it can escape in the direction of arrow P by 18, the collision of game balls can be relieved.

Then, the game balls rolling down from the horizontal rod 26a to the vertical rod 26b of the back side passage 26 are discharged from the passage discharge side 26c of the vertical rod 26b to the back side stage 27.
The game ball discharged to the back stage 27 falls on one of the upper rolling surface 29 and the lower rolling surface 31, and the game ball dropped on the upper rolling surface 29 is the upper rolling surface. 29 from the first rolling surface 29a over the second rolling surface 29b to flow down to the third rolling surface 29c, and the lower rolling surface from the recess 30 on the third rolling surface 29c. It falls to 31, or rolls from the third rolling surface 29c to the central rolling surface 29d and falls from the central rolling surface 29d to the lower rolling surface 31.

Depending on the rolling momentum of the game ball, it is guided to roll over the third rolling surface 29c beyond the central rolling surface 29d and rolls downward from the third rolling surface 29c. Drops onto surface 31. Further, when the game ball dropped on the first rolling surface 29a of the upper rolling surface 29 has no momentum, it falls from the first rolling surface 29a to the lower rolling surface 31 via the recess 30. Sometimes.
Further, the game ball rolling down the lower rolling surface 31 rolls down the rolling surface 31b having a gentle downward slope toward the central position 31c, and moves to the game area A on the front side through the discharge port 28. The game ball is discharged.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the rolling distance from the game ball receiving port 25 to the discharge port 28 is long, it is possible to maintain the expectation until the game ball is discharged. The fun of gaming is improved.
Further, in this embodiment, since the start winning port 13 is arranged below the horizontal central position of the opening of the discharge port 28 in the game area A, the game ball discharged from the central position of the discharge port 28. Is more likely to enter the start winning opening 13, and the player pays attention to the rolling direction of the game ball, so that the interest of the game is improved.
