When only one of the four play positions is in the activated state, the respective ball distributing thumb wheels corresponding to the remaining play positions rotate in the direction of the ball distributing mechanism corresponding to the play position in the activated state, that is, when the first play position P1 is activated, the respective ball distributing thumb wheels of the second play position P2, the third play position P3 and the fourth play position P4 simultaneously rotate counterclockwise, as shown in fig. 11 (b), when the second play position P2 is activated, the two ball distributing thumb wheels corresponding to the first play position P1 simultaneously rotate clockwise, the respective ball distributing thumb wheels of the third play position P3 and the fourth play position P4 simultaneously rotate counterclockwise, as shown in fig. 11 (c), when the third play position P3 is activated, the respective ball distributing thumb wheels corresponding to the first play position P1 and the second play position P2 simultaneously rotate clockwise, and the respective ball distributing thumb wheels of the fourth play position P4 simultaneously rotate counterclockwise, as shown in fig. 11 (d), and when the fourth play positions P4, the first play position P1 and the second play position P4 simultaneously rotate clockwise, as shown in fig. 11 (e).

When two of the four play positions are in the activated state and the play positions in the two activated states are adjacent to each other, the ball-separating thumb wheel corresponding to the rest of the game positions which are not activated rotates towards the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the adjacent activated play position, when the first play position P1 and the second play position P2 are in the activated state, the ball-separating thumb wheels corresponding to the third play position P3 and the fourth play position P4 simultaneously rotate anticlockwise, namely simultaneously rotate towards the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the first play position P1 and the second play position P2, as shown in fig. 11 (f), when the second play position P2 and the third play position P3 are in the activated state, the ball-separating thumb wheel corresponding to the first play position P1 simultaneously rotates clockwise, namely rotates towards the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the second play position P2, and when the ball-separating thumb wheel corresponding to the fourth play position P4 simultaneously rotates anticlockwise, namely rotates towards the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the third play position P3, and rotates towards the direction of the third play position P3, namely rotates towards the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the fourth play position P4 (as shown in fig. 11 (f), and the rotation of the fourth play position P3) simultaneously rotates towards the direction of the fourth play position P4, as shown in the game position P3, and the game position corresponding to the game position P2, as shown in the game position shown in the figure 11 (g).

When the two activated game positions are not adjacent to each other, the ball-separating thumb wheel corresponding to the game position that is not activated can rotate in the same direction or can rotate in the opposite direction, when the first game position P1 and the third game position P3 are activated, the two ball-separating thumb wheels corresponding to the second game position P2 can simultaneously rotate in the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the first game position P1, i.e., rotate counterclockwise, and one of the two ball-separating thumb wheels corresponding to the second game position P2, which is close to the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the first game position P1, can also rotate counterclockwise, i.e., rotate clockwise, so that one of the two ball-separating thumb wheels corresponding to the second game position P2, which is close to the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the third game position P3, rotates in the direction of the ball-separating mechanism corresponding to the third game position P3, i.e., rotate clockwise, because only the left side of the ball-separating thumb wheel corresponding to the fourth game position P4 has the activated third game position P3, so that the two ball-separating thumb wheels corresponding to the fourth game positions P4 simultaneously rotate counterclockwise, i.e., rotate in the direction of the third game position P3, and the working mode of the second game position P4 is not repeated as shown in the working mode of the second game position P2, and the working mode is not shown in the figure.

When the first play position P1 and the fourth play position P4 are activated, the two ball distributing thumb wheels corresponding to the second play position P2 rotate counterclockwise at the same time, i.e. rotate in the direction of the ball distributing mechanism corresponding to the first play position P1, and the two ball distributing thumb wheels corresponding to the third play position P3 rotate clockwise at the same time, i.e. rotate in the direction of the ball distributing mechanism corresponding to the fourth play position P4, as shown in fig. 11 (k).

Of course, besides the three-player ball shooting game machine and the four-player ball shooting game machine in the above embodiments, the recycling circulation system may also be used in a five-player ball shooting game machine or a ball shooting game machine that can be used by more users at the same time, and the operation mode is similar to that of the three-player ball shooting game machine or the four-player ball shooting game machine, and is not listed.
