Generally, as shown in the top view of FIG. 8, the shape of the upper plate has the widest width from the vicinity of the upstream side (the prize ball receiving port 1 side) to the downstream side, and from the middle of the downstream side of that position. Further, it has a shape in which the lateral width becomes gradually narrower toward the downstream side, and the width is such that a row of game balls can be rolled. The one row of game balls located at the position on the most downstream side is sequentially guided to a game ball launching device (not shown).
When is opened, the game ball is supplied to the lower plate.

Since the section shown by A in FIG. 8 has a lateral width capable of completely rolling a row of gaming balls, pressure is not applied from the lateral direction and ball clogging is unlikely to occur, but the lateral width gradually narrows. As shown in the top view of FIG. 9, the section B of 8 pushes or naturally rolls the game ball against the side wall 3 as a result of which lateral pressure and friction are generated between the adjacent game balls. It is likely to occur, and if the game balls overlap and pressure from above is applied, ball clogging may occur due to this.

According to the first aspect of the invention, when the game ball borrowed for money or the game ball taken in from the prize ball inlet is supplied to the upper plate, the game ball rolling on the bottom surface of the upper plate is a rib. Although it passes through the bottom and rolls to the outlet side, when the number of game balls taken in is large and overlaps in several stages, the game balls overlapping in the second and above stages of the upper plate are interrupted by going to the ribs and temporarily stopped. After this, when the number of game balls on the upper plate is reduced, the game balls blocked by the ribs descend as the game balls roll on the bottom surface of the upper plate to become the game balls that roll on the bottom plate of the upper plate, and are discharged. It can be discharged to the outlet.

When the rib is provided at the substantially center of the upper plate, that is, slightly upstream of the portion where the ball clogging is likely to occur, the rib is at the widest position in the upper plate (that is, not at the position where the horizontal width gradually narrows). Therefore, the game ball supplied upstream from the position of the rib does not receive the pressure from the lateral direction, so even if the game balls are stacked in several stages at that position, the ball is blocked. Without awakening, with the decrease in the number of game balls rolling on the bottom of the upper plate, the game balls that are obscured by the ribs and overlap on top will always descend down and be able to roll under the ribs.
