PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a fraudulent act of causing a Pachinko ball that is once recognized as a taken-in ball to be recognized again as a newly taken-in ball by reversing rotation of a rotor forming a ball taking-in apparatus. SOLUTION: The ball taking-in apparatus A has the rotor D in which a plurality of ball aligning storage sections 7 storing a plurality of Pachinko balls B internally taken in from the ball taking-in opening 2 in a nearly axially aligned state, a drive motor (rotation drive means) 8 to rotate the rotor D by a set angle, a taking-in detection sensor S2 to detect presence or absence of a plurality of pachinko balls stored in the ball aligning storage sections 7 of the rotor D in ball taking-in positions and a stop position detection sensor S<SB>1</SB>to detect a light transmission hole (a detected section) 12 provided in the rotor D to fix rotation stopping positions of the same number as the number of the ball aligning storage sections 7. The apparatus wherein the rotor D is rotated by the drive motor 8 when it is detected that the number of balls taken into the ball aligning storage sections 7 of the rotor D from the ball taking-in opening 2 is a set number by the taking-in detection sensor S<SB>2</SB>is further provided with a ratchet mechanism (a reversal rotation prevention mechanism) R to prevent the reversal rotation of the rotor D.
