PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely detect running out of balls due to clogging of prize balls by arranging a sensing member on the upper side of a prize ball passage, swinging this sensing member in the direction of arrival and leaving depending on the presence/absence of prize balls and detecting the swinging by a ball running- out confirming sensor. SOLUTION: A ball-sending member 800 is arranged under a prize ball passage including a ball passage 64a to constitute a ball-discharging device 63. Prize balls discharged by forward or backward rotation of the member 800 are ejected from a discharging port 419 or a ball discharging port. In this case, a ball sensing member 920a is arranged on the upper side of a prize ball passage, this member 920a is supported in the state of being swingable in the direction of arrival and leaving with respect to the prize ball passage depending on the presence/absence of prize balls in the prize ball passage and when there are the prize balls, a ball running-out confirming sensor 68a is operated by swinging of the member 920a. This member 920a is disposed at the part of the gently tilting passage part of the prize ball passage to judge the generation of the running out off the ball when the sensor 68a off-operates. |
