<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ball dispensing device for a game machine that prevents unexpected rotation of a ball sending unit to prevent unnecessary dispensing of a game ball. <P>SOLUTION: The ball dispensing device 1 includes the ball sending unit 4 rotatably driven by a driving source and provided with a helical projection 42 on the outer periphery of a shaft 41, and a lower flow path 32 of a ball supply flow path 3 through which a game ball sent from the ball sending unit 4 flows down. The helical protrusion 42 is formed with a ball receiving vertical surface 43 substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the ball sending unit 4. The ball dispensing device 1 is configured such that the game ball flowing down through the lower flow path 32 abuts on the ball receiving vertical surface 43 and the flowing of the game ball is stopped. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
