Abstract: A gaming machine of the present invention incorporates a game medium processing device comprising: a driving motor; a first rotating roller and a second rotating roller which are installed at a predetermined interval and rotationally driven by the driving motor so as to guide a game medium inserted into an insertion slot respectively to an insertion side and an ejection side; and a power transmission mechanism for transmitting rotation driving force of the driving motor to the first rotating roller and the second rotating roller. Herein, the power transmission mechanism is provided with idling means for making the driving motor idle upon application of load over a predetermined value to the driving motor.

Abstract: The coin payout device 1 according to the present invention is constructed from: the payout unit 20 paying out coins one by one, the payout unit 20 comprising the rotation plate 26 in which a plurality of coin openings 26b are formed along the circumference thereof, the drive motor 22 for driving the rotation plate 26 and the connector 30 for supplying electric power to the drive motor 22; the bucket 10 for storing coins; and the base 50 to which the payout unit 20 and the bucket 10 are detachably arranged. Here, the drive motor 22, which is arranged in the payout unit 20 through the latch mechanism, is prevented from dropping since the resilient deformable members 40, 40 constructing the latch mechanism are limited so as not to spread by the limit members 53 formed on the inner side walls of the recess portion 51 in the base 50 when the payout unit 20 is assembled to the base 50.

Abstract: A game machine of the present invention has a slot that receives a medal, a medal guide portion having a guide face that inclines downward toward the slot and that guides the medal, and a medal mount that is provided in the vicinity of the medal guide portion and that enables a large number of medals to be mounted thereon. The guide face has contact portions that come into contact with an outer circumference of the medal in two points when the medal is mounted on the guide face, where a distance between the contact portions is smaller than the diameter of the medal.
