ABSTRACT:
An amusement machine is provided which comprises a playing field having a flat, horizontal upper surface which is adapted to support coins and a coin pusher which, in use, periodically sweeps across part of the playfield surface so as to disturb coins distributed thereon. Accordingly, some coins may be pushed over at least one edge of the playfield surface into a win chute leading to a pay cup from which coins may be recovered by the user of the machine. A coin passage is provided through which the user can introduce additional coins onto the playfield surface to increase the chance of coins being pushed over the edge. A coin conveyor conveys some of the coins introduced by the user directly from the coin passage to a location above and close to the edge of the playfield. A sensor detects the passage of a coin in the coin conveyor. An actuating device is responsive to a signal from the sensor to release a bonus payout of coins into the pay cup.
