PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the cost of manufacturing a mechanism board and working cost by forming integrally a communication passage communicating with the ball outlet of a lower ball tray in the lower portion of a ball passage in a mechanism plate furnished with a ball passage that guides winning balls to a shot ball supply tray and guides surplus balls overflowing a shot ball supply tray. SOLUTION: In a pachinko machine 1, a winning ball dispensing device 16 is provided on the rear side of a front frame 3 and a ball passage 17 is continuously provided below the device. The ball passage 17 has a discharge passage 17a that guides winning balls from the winning ball dispensing device 16 to a shot ball supply tray from a guide opening 18, and a surplus ball passage 17b that guides overflowing surplus balls to a lower ball tray 10 from a ball outlet 19 at a time when the shot ball supply tray is filled with winning balls. In this case, a communication passage 17c communicating with the ball outlet 19 of the lower ball tray is formed integrally in the lower portion of the surplus ball passage 17b. This communicating passage 17c is formed so that the front edge of a mechanism board 12 may closely contact the reverse side of the front frame 3 and match correctly the ball outlet 19 of the lower ball tray at a time when the plate is closed, improving the mountability.
