The invention is for an automatic skittle game equipped with a coin or token mechanism and in which the skittles have different point values which are registered automatically on a scoreboard. The automatic skittle game consists primarily of a combination of a coin or token mechanism for the operation of the automatic skittle game, a rollable skittle ball, a guide path for guiding the skittle ball, a number of skittles with individual values in points which are set up on both sides of the guide path, said skittles being each mounted on a rocker, a mechanism for blocking and clearing the guide path, a mechanism for restoring to the vertical position the skittles with rockers bowled-over by the skittle ball when this skittle ball rolls back, an electrical scoreboard for recording the value in points of the bowled-over skittles, and a contact for each rocker and skittle which contacts of the bowled-over skittles close an electrical circuit to the scoreboard.
