PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinball game machine having no balls left on a ball feeding member in ball removal processing.SOLUTION: A prize ball putout unit includes: a sprocket 70 that is rotatably disposed between a standby passage 47 and a putout passage 48, receives in a ball reception recess 75, game balls in the standby passage 47 one by one and feeds it to the putout passage 48; and a ball removal mechanism 90' that discharges game balls in the standby passage 47 via a ball removal passage 52' to the outside of the machine by a ball removal member 91'. The ball removal member 91' is configured, when an operation lever 93' is located on a lower side, to be held at a closed position on an upper side of a rotary shaft of the sprocket 70 and that, when the sprocket 70 is rotated, a tip end of the ball removal member 91' and a ball guide protrusion 74 of the sprocket 70 may be overlapped in a direction of the rotary axis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 43 【課題】球抜き処理時に遊技球が球送り部材上に残存しない弾球遊技機を提供する。【解決手段】賞球払出ユニットは、待機通路４７と払出通路４８との間に回転可能に配設され、待機通路４７内の遊技球を１球ずつ球受容凹部７５に受容して払出通路４８に送り出すスプロケット７０と、待機通路４７内の遊技球を球抜き部材９１′により球抜き通路５２′を通じて機外へ排出させる球抜き機構９０′とを備え、球抜き部材９１′は、操作レバー９３′が下方位置にある場合、スプロケット７０の回転軸よりも上方において閉鎖位置に保持されて、スプロケット７０を回転させたときに当該球抜き部材９１′の先端部とスプロケット７０の球案内凸部７４とが回転軸方向に重なり得るように構成される。【選択図】図４３
