[Problems to be solved by the device]

In order to put the inter-game gaming medium lending machine into practical use, the game medium is selectively switched between a first state in which the gaming medium is discharged from the first payout passage and a second state in which the gaming medium is discharged from the second payout passage. It is necessary to provide a possible switching mechanism, but if the switching mechanism is simply provided, if the player borrows the game medium without checking which state the switching mechanism is switched to, the gaming medium is dispensed from the desired dispensing passage. May not be performed.

In particular, while a player is playing a game on a gaming table that should receive the gaming medium discharged from the second payout passage, another player plays the first game.
If the player borrows the game medium discharged from the payout passage with the intention that the game medium is discharged from the second payout passage, troubles may occur between the players.

The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and by devising the operation structure for the switching mechanism, even if the rental is rented without checking the switching state of the switching mechanism, the above-mentioned troubles will occur. It is an object of the present invention to provide a medium-to-machine lending machine for gaming machines that is unlikely to occur.
