<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinball game machine that, when game balls accumulated in a ball tray are transferred to a ball box through a ball removal hole, prevents the game balls from bulging toward the rearward of the ball box in an unstable manner.SOLUTION: The pinball game machine includes: a front member 3 provided on an outer frame 2; a ball tray 4 provided on the front member 3; a ball removal hole 4b bored in a bottom part 4a of the ball tray 4; and a ball removal member 6b for opening/closing the ball removal hole 4b. The ball removal hole 4b is made open in a state where a portable ball box 103 is placed on a shelf board 102 of a game machine installation island 100, with the box facing the ball removal hole 4b of the ball tray from below, to discharge the balls in the ball tray 4 into the ball box 103. The ball removal hole 4b includes, at a lateral rearward of the outlet thereof, a ball stop plate 7 configured to rotationally turn between a standby position that faces the ball removal hole 4b from below for receiving ball pressure of balls falling therefrom, and a ball stop position suspending rearward of the ball removal hole 4b. The ball stop plate 7 is retained at the standby position by energizing means 10, however, when receiving the ball pressure, rotationally turns against the energization of the energizing means 10.</p> |
