To detect when a ball fraud with a thread is performed on a game machine.SOLUTION: A game machine is configured to supply game balls stored on a tray part to a prescribed shooting position through a supply path. The game balls supplied to the shooting position are shot to a game region by a shooting unit. A movable member 51 is provided so that when a thread whose one end is attached to a game ball discharged to the game region is pulled from an external side of the tray part, the movable member operates in a prescribed direction upon contact with the thread, and then, operation of the movable member is detected by detection means 53. Thereby, when a wrongdoer puts the game ball to which the thread is attached (a ball with a thread) into the tray part and shoots the game ball to the game region and then the thread is pulled from the external side of the tray part, thread to which tension is applied contacts the movable member and the movable member operates, and the detection means detects the operation, so as to enable detection of a dishonest act as a ball fraud with a thread.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】遊技機で糸付き球ゴトが行われた場合に検知する。【解決手段】皿部に貯留された遊技球を、供給通路を介して所定の発射位置に供給する。また、発射位置に供給された遊技球を発射装置で遊技領域に向けて発射する。そして、遊技領域に放出された遊技球に一端が取り付けられた糸が皿部の外側から引っ張られた場合に、その糸が当接することで所定方向に動作する可動部材５１を設けることとして、可動部材が動作したことを検知手段５３で検知可能とする。こうすれば、不正行為者が糸を取り付けた遊技球（糸付き球）を皿部に投入して遊技領域に向けて発射した後、皿部の外側から糸を引っ張ると、テンションがかかった糸が当接して可動部材が動作し、検知手段によって動作が検知されるため、糸付き球ゴトとして検知が可能となる。【選択図】図８
