Further, the game balls that have been flipped out to the game area R1 and taken into the rear side of the game board 11 through the winning openings 14, 15, 20, 21 and the outlet 16 are the game board 11
Through a collecting plate (not shown) attached to the mechanism plate 75
It flows into the funnel portion 35 formed in. Then, the game balls flow into the recovery path 152 at the center of the funnel portion 35, are discharged to an island side recovery duct (not shown) provided below the pachinko gaming machine, and are recovered at a predetermined place in the game arcade.

By the way, since the collecting path 152 is adjacent to the payout portion 148 of the lower plate payout path 145B, the collected game balls are for the lower plate before being discharged to the lower outside of the pachinko gaming machine. It passes through the payout path 145B next to the payout section 148. Here, a person who is illegally trying to obtain a game ball, for example, burns a lit cigarette with the second ball outlet 31 of the lower plate 27B.
It is supposed to be inserted at the back of A. However,
In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the fraud prevention plate 157 provided integrally with the bottom wall 151 divides the payout portion 148 of the lower plate payout path 145B and the recovery path 152 for collecting the game balls. Therefore, due to the heat of the cigarette, the lower plate discharge path 1
An incorrect hole is not formed in the side wall 149 between the 45B and the recovery path 152. In particular, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the recovery path 152 is bent, and the game ball flowing down the bent portion frequently collides with the side wall 149 between the lower plate payout path 145B and the recovery path 152. If an illegal hole is just formed in the colliding part, a large amount of illegal game balls may be acquired, but such a situation can be prevented.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the heatable portion (the inner portion of the second ball outlet 31A) of the portion that divides the lower plate dispensing passage 145B and the recovery passage 152 is improper in heat resistance. Since it is covered with the prevention plate 157, even if a predetermined heating means (for example, a cigarette) is inserted from the second ball outlet 31A, it is not possible to open an illegal hole that connects the lower plate dispensing passage 145B and the collection passage 152. become unable. As a result, it is possible to prevent the illegal acquisition of the game ball. Moreover, the fraud prevention plate 157 is integrally formed with the protective metal member 155 for receiving the game ball that has flowed down in the recovery path 152, so that the fraudulent hole is formed without increasing the number of parts. Can be prevented.
