Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a cost, and miniaturize size. SOLUTION: The upper part of a game machine 10 is effectively used by disposing a decorative member 80 also serving as the cargo placing part above the game machine 10. A game machine island 10a is simply constituted by obviating a part attached to it by independently playing a game by a game machine, for example, by eliminating the necessity of equipping a replenishing gutter to supply pachinko balls to the game machine island 10a by arranging a ball dispenser 40a in one of both side parts of the game machine 10 by playing the game by using the pachinko balls sealed in the game machine 10.
