PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent ball clogging when introducing game balls to a discharge device in the case of directly introducing the game balls from a storage tank to the discharge device and leading them out to a discharge side flow path in a game machine. SOLUTION: The discharge device 200 is directly attached to the storage tank 220. The discharge device 200 is provided with a rotating sprocket 210 having a plurality of ball receiving parts 208 for receiving the game balls. By the rotation of the sprocket 210, the game balls are received from an introduction part 202 provided inside the storage tank 220, and moved to a lead-out part and led out. The introduction part 202 is arranged on the downstream side of an inclined part 22h on the upper surface of the bottom wall 22a of the storage tank 220. The discharge device 200 including the introduction part 202 is joined to the storage tank 220 so as to be freely swung. The discharge device 200 is swung on the basis of the operation and the flowing state of the game balls from the storage tank 220 to the discharge device 200. By the swing of the discharge device 200, ball clogging near the introduction part 202 is dissolved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
