An object of the present invention is to provide a highly entertaining game apparatus by introducing unexpectedness to the development of game. The present invention provides a game apparatus characterized in that the apparatus employs a slot (1) for allowing insertion of a medal (12) therethrough, a guide member (5, 14) for guiding the inserted medal (12) downward, a plate (6) arranged substantially horizontally below the guide member (5, 14), a fall-in groove, provided at at least one end of the plate (6), for discharging the medal (12) to an outside, a slidable member (8) which moves reciprocally on the plate (6) in a predetermined direction, and a medal (12) which falls through the guide member (5, 14) while the slidable member (8) moves, thereby causing the medals (12) on the plate (6) to fall into the fall-in groove, and characterized by including scattering mechanism (10) for scattering the medals (12) on the plate (6).
A game apparatus characterized in that the apparatus employs a slot for allowing insertion of a medal therethrough, a guide member for guiding the inserted medal downward, a plate arranged substantially horizontally below the guide member, a fall-in groove, provided at at least one end of the plate, for discharging the medal to an outside, a slidable member which moves reciprocally on said plate in a predetermined direction, and a medal which falls through the guide member while the slidable member moves, thereby causing medals on the plate to fall into the fall-in groove directly or indirectly, and further comprises
