Abstract

See full text

A ball lottery apparatus includes a roulette section having a roulette wheel and a retention plate that are superposed and rotatable as a unit, a slide motor unit for changing the relative position of the retention plate with respect to the roulette wheel, and a host controller for selecting either of a ball-hold mode or a ball-through mode for the roulette section. In the ball-hold mode, the host controller controls the slide motor unit so that the roulette section retains the balls. In the ball-through mode, the host controller controls the slide motor unit so that the balls fall down from the roulette section.
