A simplified coin dispenser for a gaming machine prevents jamming of coins when paying them out. The coin dispenser is provided with a bucket for accommodating a plurality of coins used as game media in the gaming machine. A rotary disk and associated rotary drive for rotating same are provided at the bottom of the bucket. The rotary disk has a plurality of openings that are disposed side-by-side along the circumference thereof, each of the openings being dimensioned to permit a coin to enter therein. A coin-feeding guide plate and a coin receiving plate are disposed under the rotary disk so as to be rotated synchronously with the rotary disk. The coin-feeding guide plate has a plurality of extension portions for inclining and moving the coins that have entered the openings from the bucket. The coins are received by coin receiving plate, a portion of each of the coins being put onto the extension portion, and the coins are guided in a direction substantially radially away from the center of the rotary disk in response to the rotation of the rotary disk. The coins then are ejected via a coin outlet.
