Abstract
A coin game machine enables a player to easily count the number of coins 23 that are paid out from a coin pay-out hole 10 of the coin game machine. Three rows of grooves 22a are formed on a receiving pan 22 of the coin game machine. The coins 23 that are paid out from the coin pay-out hole 10 are orderly lined up along each of the grooves 22a. Therefore, the player can see all the coins 23 and count the number of the coins 23 easily. In this case, by counting in advance the number of coins that can be stored in each row of the grooves 22a, the player can count the number of coins stored on the receiving pan 22 further easily.
