However, in the above-described conventional launch rail device, when the launched pachinko ball stalls on the launch rail, or once it enters the guide rail, it stalls in the middle of the guide rail. Originally it should fall into the foul hole, but due to the insufficient adjustment of the position of the launch rail with respect to the guide rail, there is a case where it may get over the free end of the launch rail and return to the launch rail. Then, there was a problem that a smooth game cannot be performed.

That is, in the next launch, the pachinko ball that is about to be launched cannot be thrown into the game board with the expected force, or is unable to be thrown into the game board, because it is disturbed by the return ball that has returned to the launch rail. It was sometimes wasted. In addition, pachinko balls may remain on the launch rail, and in this case, the pachinko balls left on the launch rail cannot be processed as foul balls, so the game progresses while managing one ball at a time. In the gaming device, the game itself is hindered.

Therefore, the ball-ball game device according to claims 1 and 2 has been made in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional technique, and the purpose thereof is a pachinko machine that has been once ejected. Each time a ball returns on the launch rail, the return ball is excluded outside the launch rail one by one, so that the ball can be played smoothly without the next ball being interrupted by the return ball.
