Game machine and method for producing false movement of game medium

摘要

A game machine in which a game medium can be charged into a play field with no strange feeling regardless of whether the game medium thus charged or identical to a discharged game medium or not by producing movement of the game medium. A method for producing false movement of the game medium is also provided. A station section (ST) comprises a medal charging mechanism (100) into which a game medium, i.e. a medal (M), is charged, a charged medal sensor (108-9) for detecting a medal charged into the medal charging mechanism a medal discharge section (330) for discharging the medal to a play field (500), a plurality of LEDs (920) arranged from the vicinity of the medal charging mechanism to the vicinity of the medal discharge section, a control section (600) and an LED drive circuit (930) for lighting the LEDs sequentially from the medal charging mechanism side to the medal discharge section side when charging of a medal is detected by the charged medal sensor (108-9). Upon elapsing a predetermined time after charging of a medal into the medal charging mechanism is detected, the control section drives the medal discharge section to discharge the medal.
