PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of effectively preventing clogging of a downstream storage part with balls without impairing the storing function of the downstream storage part for storing game balls which are discharged from a ball discharging device but which can not flow down to a ball feeding tray. SOLUTION: A discharged ball inlet 14c of a ball storage case 14 is located above the lower part on one side of a game board 6 to communicate with a discharged ball downflow passage 13, and a ball outlet 14b is located below the lower part on the other side of the game board 6. A communication channel is formed in the front/rear direction with a rear communication passage forming part 15 and a front communication passage forming part 17 disposed under the game board 6, and the ball storage case 14 is made to communicate with a ball inlet 9d of the ball feeding tray 9 via the communication channel. With this structure, the difference in height between the discharged ball inlet 14c and the ball outlet 14b of the downstream storage tank 14 is set large and the inclination of an inclined bottom 141 is made steep without reducing the number of game balls to be stored in a ball storage space 14a, so that clogging of the ball storage case with game balls can be prevented.
