PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a game machine which enables continuation of game even when a ball dispensing unit is disabled to pay out dispensed balls. SOLUTION: When a game ball enters a prize port for delivering fifteen game balls, '1' is stored into a number of prizes memory area 214c corresponding to an address 0FH for paying out fifteen game balls in a number of prize table 214b stored in an RAM 216. Thereafter, each time the prize is won, '1' is added into the number of prize memory area 214d. A sub CPU carried on a pay-out control substrate drives a prize ball unit according to the number off prizes stored in the number of prize ball memory area 214c to pay out the prize balls. In this manner, the number of the prizes is stored to enable the pay-out of the prize balls based on the memory thereby eliminating the need for storing the prize balls. As a result, even when a ball dispensing unit is disabled to pay out dispensed balls, the drive of a shooting motor is not stopped. This eliminates the interruption of the game thereby getting rid of the fear of spoiling interests in the game.
