<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clean an unclean game medium from other game island to use as a replenishing game medium. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The branch unit 32 disposed on a replenishing conveyor 30 at the upper part of a game island 2 distributes tokens from the replenishing conveyor 30 in an operational condition, replenish them to a slot machine 6 or the like, and let them pass in a non-operational condition. The retrieval conveyor 14 at the lower part of the game island 2 transports the tokens from the slot machine 6 or the like to a token replenisher 4a. A return passage 42 guides the tokens to the conveyor 14 from the terminal part of a conveyor 30. An island bridging conveyor 28 transports unclean tokens from other game islands to the replenishing tank 26 of the token replenisher 4a. When the slot machine 6 or the like requests replenishment as a replenishing process, branch units 34 are made operable, the conveyor 30 is driven, and the tokens are replenished from a tank 26. While replenishment is not being processed, all the branch units 34 are not made operable and the conveyor 30 is driven to supply the tokens to the conveyor 30 from the tank 26.
