Medals that are fed on the game board through a medal feeder such as a medal chute are pushed out by a pushing member, which causes pileup operation among medals accumulated on the game board, and medals fall from the edge portion on the game board.
An object of the present invention is to provide a new-type pusher game machine in which a player can see medals falling from a game board by natural eye movement, and the player can devote herself or himself to playing games.
