PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely feed game balls to a hitting device one by one surely matched with the hitting timing of the hitting device in a game ball feeder for aligning the game balls in two lines and making them flow down. SOLUTION: The game ball feeder includes: a path part 42 wherein paths formed in a width slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball for aligning the game balls in one line are formed in two lines in parallel along the feeding direction of the game balls; a downflow guiding path provided on the downstream side of the path part 42 for aligning the game balls made to flow down from the two lines of paths in one line and making them flow down; a rotary plate 60 provided on the downstream side of the downflow guiding path and provided with the passing port 62 of such an inner diameter that only one game ball can pass through; and a motor 70 for rotationally driving the rotary plate 60 so as to make the passing port 62 face the downflow guiding path matched with the hitting timing of the hitting device. Also, rotary downflow part provided with a holding part capable of holding only one game ball made to flow down from the upstream side and rotated toward the downstream side is provided on the downstream side of the path.
