PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To take a prescribed number of game media as one unit into a game machine more speedily and securely by extending/reducing the period of detection based on the mode of movement of the game media. SOLUTION: In the game machine, a game can be played by a unit (a prescribed number) of game media. The game machine comprises a rotary body 120 (a movable body) with blades 120a (a storage part) for storing pachinko balls B (game media) at a storage position, an inflow passage 34 (guide passage) for guiding pachinko balls B toward the blades 12a, optical sensors 114 (detector group) for detecting the presence of pachinko balls B stored in the blades 120a, and adjacent sensors 142 and 144 (first detectors) for detecting the number of pachinko balls B passing per unit time. The detection period is extended/reduced according to the detected number; if one unit of pachinko balls B can be detected by the optical sensors 114 during the detection period, the rotary body 120 is rotated from the storage position to the take-in position to take the pachinko balls B into the machine.
