PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of a conventional Pachinko game machine that balls left in a part of a ball guiding gutter or a ball discharger are hard to extract because balls are left in a part under a passage switching valve when a ball extractor is assembled in the ball guide gutter independently from the ball discharger. SOLUTION: This Pachinko ball discharger 5 is equipped with a ball passage 10 provided with an arc shape curved chute 10b at its midway and a rotary body 13 for ball flow control provided by inwardly facing a claw wheel R1 to the curved passage 10b. Two opening ports are formed on the curved passage 10b and one is made a normal ball port 12 and the other a ball extracting port 20. A passage switching valve 17, which has a radius same as that of the curved passage 10b, sets the normal ball port 12 closable, and is communicated with the curved passage 10b in the closed condition so as to guide balls flowed from the ball control rotary body 13 to the ball extracting port 20, is equipped on the discharger.
