[Prior Art]

 The prize balls that have been obtained by the conventional game players are the same as gold, such as the deposit balls from the game players, which are equivalent to gold, by installing a special ball return device at a special place in the game hall, for example, the hall counter and the end of the island stand. The proof payment management was set up within the employee's monitoring range to prevent fraud.

However, the prize ball returning device requires a so-called island returning device as a means for quickly and evenly returning the balls returned in a concentrated manner toward the exit of the hall to each island stand. There were many problems with the work burden and maintenance related to equipment work. In order to solve the problem, it has been proposed to install a ball returning device individually for each pachinko machine.However, in this ball returning device, a settlement management system such as a printing device is installed in the vicinity of the player. Due to the double-digit configuration, customers come to the store for fraudulent purposes, pretending to be a player, and use magnets, wires, etc. to maliciously change the values on the printing device, or cause magnetic components that use powerful magnets to cause the counting components to malfunction. Accidents frequently occurred, such as the fact that the record was unreadable or unreadable, which caused trouble with the hall and requested an unreasonable amount of money.

In addition, each device, parts and equipment are arranged inside the island stand, and each electric wiring related to the operation of the pachinko machine is covered in the substantial center thereof. It also causes a malfunction of the control board, which is vulnerable to shocks, and repairs the malfunctioning equipment, resulting in a large decrease in sales due to pachinko machine suspension.
