Abstract

A cylindrical medal pusher is eccentrically mounted on a rotary shaft. As the rotary shaft drives the medal pusher to eccentrically rotate it, a portion of the circumferential surface of the medal pusher remotest from the rotary shaft sequentially passes through play areas and pushes a medal on a play field toward the final edge of the play field so that the medal is moved to the area outside of a locus of the remotest portion. A medal thrown by player is pushed by the medal pusher to drop another medal placed on the play field from the final edge of the play field. The dropped medal is counted when it enters a drop hopper which pays out the same number of medals as the counted medals to the player. The partition plate protrudes above the play field and the front end facing the rotary shaft is always near at the circumferential surface of the medal pusher so that a medal is not permitted to transfer between different play areas. As the medal pusher rotates and the portion of the circumferential surface remotest from the rotary shaft passes through each play area, the front end of the partition plate is pushed by the circumferential surface and lower surface of the medal pusher. The partition plate is partially retracted under the play field to allow the eccentric rotation of the medal pusher.
