Abstract

A gaming machine is provided with a cabinet; a door (3), provided on a front face opening of the above-mentioned cabinet; a bill insertion slot (529), provided in the door (3); and a bill guide plate (52A), which extends outwards from below the bill insertion slot (529) and is for guiding a bill to the bill insertion slot (529); and here, the bill guide plate (52A) is equipped with slit openings (524), a guide part, which guides foreign matter from the exterior, is positioned in the direction substantially below the slit openings (524), and a drain bottle (7), for recovery of the foreign matter guided by the above-mentioned guide part, is equipped at the rear face side of the door (3). Thus even if foreign matter is spilled onto the bill guide plate, the foreign matter can be collected without getting on the various devices inside the cabinet.
