One detector for detecting the rotational position and two detectors provided symmetrically with respect to the rotation center of the pulse plate and having different sizes. A detection section, wherein the detection section sets the detection position of the one detection section to a standby position of the slider, and sets the detection position of the other detection section to a top dead center position of the slider, and In the payout, after the rotation start signal is given to the motor, the detection unit turns on the signal from the other detection target, and then stops the motor when the off signal is obtained. After stopping for a predetermined time, the motor is rotated again, and after the detection unit has turned on a signal from one of the detected units,
When the turned-off signal is obtained, the motor is stopped.

Thus, the slider can be stopped at the top dead center of the slider without fail for a predetermined time, so that the coin can be prevented from being jammed.
