I am writing a code of game bean machine(Galton box), its mechanism that one ball fall and move randomly until it get to one of the slots (randomly) and then another ball comes doing the same thing and so on, the problem is that all balls fall at the same time which something I do not want, I want each ball to fall when the current one finishes its travel..can anyone helps me ! Thanks..
here is the code:

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
