PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine which can return Pachinko balls from a storage part according to need by using a simple structure without using a moving mechanism except movement of a holder equipped with the storage part and without equipping another mechanism to limit the flowing in/out of Pachinko balls. SOLUTION: Pachinko balls P remaining in a ball receiving path 106 can be guided to a ball returning path 130 by rotating a holder 112 in a direction reverse to the normal rotation direction and rotate the holder 112 in 1/2 pitch (30°) in contrast to a normal pitch (60°). When balls P are guided to the ball returning path 130, the balls P flowing from the ball receiving path 106 to the storage part 110 of the holder 112 are blocked by the end face of the holder 112. By such a structure, the game machine does not need to have a special shutter mechanism etc. to make the structure simpler. By preventing the increase of the number of parts, the size of a Pachinko ball recovering device 100 itself can be made more compact. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
