PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce static electricity discharge caused by game balls passing through a replenishing path in a game machine provided with the payout mechanism of the game balls. SOLUTION: Balls stored in a ball storage tank 38 pass through a guiding gutter 39 and reach a ball payout device 97 through ball supply gutters 186a and 186b. A ball exhaustion switch 187 is provided on an upstream part (part close to the ball storage tank 38) in the guiding gutter 39. In the case that game ball insufficiency is detected by the ball exhaustion switch 187, the speed of the operation of the ball payout device 97 is lowered. Since the game balls are tightly adhered in a route to the ball payout device 97, the opportunities of discharge even when the game balls are charged are reduced.
