PURPOSE:To lead a large quantity of balls eventually released in a lump to a release receptacle tray smoothly by furnishing a ball counting part with a ball flow opening/shutting means, and below it providing a ball flowdown path, which runs askew in the game machine concerned and whose inside surface is formed spirally consisting of ridges. CONSTITUTION:Within a box a release path 5 is arranged with inclination and is formed with a flexible tube, i.e., spiral ridge on the inside surface of the path, so that a large quantity of balls eventually released in a lump and flowing down can be decelerated by synergetic action of the inclination and the spiral ridge on the inside surface. In particular, the path 5 has a coarser ridge pitch toward the downstream side, and further, part or the whole of the path 5 is provided without being secured to the abovementioned box, which provides an inherent effect that smooth flowing-down of balls is not hindered while mitigation of the flowdown speed is made still more effectively. |
