PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine which can detect the exhaustion of balls in a prize ball tank without providing the prize ball tank with a prize ball exhaustion sensing switch. SOLUTION: A pachiko machine 1 is provided with a main control substrate 41 and a CR payout substrate 45. The main control substrate 41 computes the requested number of payout balls by a prize signal from a prize port switch 32 or the like and a payout signal from a prize ball payout checking switch 65. Based on the requested number of payout balls, a player is notified of payout by a surface decoration lamp 13 and a state display lamp 14 when the requested number of payout balls is down to 0, the notification is stopped by a payout notification stop instruction. The CR payout substrate 45 also computes the residue from the requested number of payout balls by a payout request signal and a payout signal to control the payout operation based on the residue from requested number of payout balls. In case paying out fails as balls run out in a prize tank, payout signal from the prize ball payout checking switch 65 is stopped to keep the requested number of payout balls from reducing down to zero thereby enabling the recognition of the exhaustion of balls in the prize ball tank with the continuation of the notification.
