Abstract
A plurality of medals are placed both on a fixed table and a movable table. A player supplies medals one by one on the movable table via a medal feeding rail. The movable table moves forward and backward in a reciprocating motion to drop medals placed on the fixed table into a medal outlet so as to give the medals to the player. A field table which is placed under the fixed table revolves around a tower, while containing a large number of medals accumulated therein, thereby circulating a large number of accumulated medals. Medals in the field table are automatically taken out, when the amount being in excess, by an overflow prevention device. Thus, the game machine permits the player to continue the game, free from concern about any medal overflowing from the field table.
