PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely take in or discharge game balls, and to immediately discharge game balls in a game machine having a discharge device integrally formed with a storage tank and capable of discharging game balls stored in the storage tank to the downstream side. SOLUTION: The discharge device 200 is integrally mounted with the storage tank 220 to reduce the setting space, thereby solving the problem related to the space on the rear side of the game machine. The axis of rotation of a sprocket 210 having ball receiving recesses 208, ... is set in the vertical direction, so that game balls can be smoothly discharged downward. The sprocket 210 is configured to receive a plurality of game balls in the vertical direction in the respective ball receiving recesses 208, ... so that game balls are received in the uppermost part and game balls in the lowermost part are extracted. Even if there is an error in receiving game balls in the ball receiving recesses 208, ..., already received game balls are discharged so that continuous discharge is possible. Further, a gap is formed between the lower surface of the sprocket 210 and the upper surface of the bottom 216 to prevent clogging of the sprocket 210 with game balls caused by the high-speed rotation.
