Abstract

To provide a game machine having characteristics in a flow path.SOLUTION: A game machine is equipped with a flow path for game balls. The flow path includes a first flow path, a second flow path, a third flow path, and a fourth flow path. A first screw insertion port through which a screw can be inserted is formed on the first flow path, a third screw insertion port through which a screw can be inserted is formed on the third flow path, and no screw insertion port through which a screw can be inserted is formed on the fourth flow path. The third flow path has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening being located upstream of the second opening. The third screw insertion port is located closer to the first opening than the second opening, at a position where, if a screw is not properly inserted into the third screw insertion port, a game ball flowing through the third flow path comes into contact with a structural body forming the third flow path with the screw.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 34
