PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of recognizing the accurate storage level of game balls in the entire storage tank, distributing the game balls among game machine islands and maintaining the optimum storage amount of the game balls inside the storage tank. SOLUTION: A plurality of storage sections sectioned beforehand corresponding to the distribution conditions of stored game balls are set inside a lower storage tank 70, and it is detected by a sensor that the game balls are filled by the unit of one, two or more of the respective storage sections. By a control means, points are imparted in the case that the game balls are filled in each storage section and the storage level is adjusted to a prescribed value corresponding to the total value of the points for each storage section. The present island which is the game machine island 10 and the other islands 10A and 10B are connected through a game ball moving route such that the stored game balls can be transmitted and received to/from each other. The control means compares the storage levels in the present island and the other islands and controls the transmission and reception of the game balls among the respective game machine islands so that the respective storage levels approach the prescribed values separately determined for the respective game machine islands.
