Abstract
A gaming machine includes at least a cabinet, a hopper unit, an insertion slot to which a game medium is inserted, and a coin sensor that detects the game medium that has been inserted. The coin sensor is disposed directly below the insertion slot. Since the guidepath is not needed between the insertion slot and the coin sensor, such a configuration can prevent coins from blocking the guidepath.
