PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a counted ball distributing structure of a game machine island capable of continuing the ball counting operation while reacting to the discharge of a large quantity of game balls from a prize ball counter even if game balls stop flowing into a storage tank. SOLUTION: A counted ball collecting gutter 30 comprises an upper channel 31 and a lower channel 32 for receiving game balls discharged from the prize ball counter 22 to let the game balls flow into a distributing part 40. An out ball collecting gutter 19 is disposed above a guide gutter 23 communicating with the storage tank. The distributing part 40 discharges game balls flowing from the counted ball collecting gutter 30 preferentially to the guide gutter 23 from a first outlet 41 disposed below. The out ball collecting gutter 19 is connected to a second outlet 42 opened above the first outlet 41, and if game balls are retained not to flow out into the guide gutter 23, game balls are accumulated inside the distributing part 40 to flow out from the second outlet 42 to the out ball collecting gutter 19. Accordingly, the prize ball counter 22 can continue the counting operation after the storage tank is full. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
