AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional lottery devices with a single input unit limit the number of balls that can be inserted per operation, affecting game interest and increasing manufacturing complexity and cost when multiple input units are used.

Method used

A lottery device with a dual-entry system featuring a main and sub-transport path for ball conveyance, utilizing gravity to move balls without the need for power mechanisms, and integrating ball recovery and input functions into a simple structure.

Benefits of technology

Enables efficient ball conveyance to multiple input units with a simplified design, reducing manufacturing costs and maintaining game interest.

Abstract

To provide a lottery device and a lottery game device capable of achieving transportation of a ball to each input part using a simple configuration and capable of reducing a manufacturing cost of the lottery device.SOLUTION: A lottery device includes a lottery table 10, a ball input part 30 including at least an input part 31a and an input part 31b, and a ball transportation part 40. A transportation route P includes a main transportation route P1 that connects the ball transportation part 40 and the input part 31a, and a sub-transportation route P2 for connecting the input part 31a and the input part 31b. The ball transportation part 40 transports a ball B1 to the input part 31a through the main transportation route P1. A sub-lifter 32 of the input part 31a transports the ball B1 at the input part 31a to the input part 31b through the sub-transportation route P2. The main transportation route P1 and the sub-transportation route P2 are configured so as to prevent the ball B1 transported to the main transportation route P1 by the ball transportation part 40 from entering the sub-transportation route P2 directly.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
