To stably rotate a motor while avoiding a resonance zone and prevent a ball from being bitten or the like caused by the shortage of torque in a ball discharger of a pachinko machine capable of divisionally paying the pachinko balls into two ball discharge passages by the normal or reverse rotation of a ratchet.

A discharging rotor is mounted on a branch part where a ball supply cylinder for aligning the pachinko balls to flow into a rental ball discharging passage and a winning ball discharging passage, a gear of large diameter 41 is fixed to a rotary shaft 40 of the discharging rotor, a pinion 43 fixed to an output shaft 42 of a motor capable of rotating in both of the normal and reverse directions, is engaged with the gear of large diameter, and the discharging rotor is rotated in the normal direction or the reverse direction on the basis of a rental ball requirement signal or a winning ball detecting signal for making the pachinko balls flow to the rental ball discharging passage or the winning ball discharging passage.
