Abstract

PURPOSE: To return surplus fragmentary balls by providing a lamp for informing the generation of a fragment under a unit of pachinko balls and providing a return switch for returing the fragmentary balls to a lower tray in a ball take-in device of a supply tray. CONSTITUTION: A ball extract lamp 97 is lighted in the case where balls remain in a ball take-in device 30. When a game player wants to return balls remaining in the ball take-in device 30, for example, when he wants to stop a game, a ball extract switch 99 provided on the right lower part of a front cover 9 is operated. Especially, in the case where fragmentary balls of the minimum unit ball number or a smaller number (1-4) remain in the ball take-in device 30, the balls can not be extracted by a ball extract lever 94, so that it is necessary to operate the ball extract switch 99. When the ball extract switch 99 is operated, the ball take-in device 30 and a passage switching valve 38 are operated, balls in the ball sheath 33 of the ball take-in device 30 are turned to a ball extract gutter 35 in the midway of a take-in gutter 34 and guide to a lower gutter of a lower table 6 pierced through a front reinforcement plate 5 to be returned to a lower tray 63 through a discharge port of the lower table 6.
