GAME APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game apparatus which enables the detection of the passing media over the entire area where the passing media pass while allowing the visual observation of how the passing media pass over the entire passage area of the passing media and moreover, facilitates the alteration of the positions, shapes, the number and the like of the chuckers in the entire passage area. SOLUTION: The game apparatus has a transparent light guide plate 144 provided ahead of a token passage space 148 where the tokens pass and a detection part 146 which is disposed deep inside the token passage space 148 facing the light guide plate 144. The detection part 146 is provided with a detection sensor 156 for detecting the infrared rays reflected from a reflection part 152 corresponding to the token detection point. The tokens passing through the token passage space 148 intercept the infrared rays reflected from the reflection part 152 at the token detection point, thereby detecting the positions of the tokens. The game apparatus further contains a judgment part 226 which judges whether the tokens pass the position at which the display objects of the chuckers are displayed or not.
