GAME MEDIUM PATHWAY, GAME MEDIUM REPLENISHING DEVICE, AND CONNECTION MEMBER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game medium pathway, a game medium replenishing device and a connection member permitting easy, secure and inexpensive connection and disconnection of a tubular member, and further, permitting connection of a plurality of kinds of tubular members of different outer diameters. SOLUTION: The connection member 600 connects a feed pipe 360 with a Pachinko ball introduction pathway 410, and has a projection 600c. The projection penetrates the Pachinko ball introduction pathway 410 to project to the feed pipe 360 side, and is brought into contact at least with the feed pipe 360 to support the feed pipe 360. When the state of the connection member 600 is at least changed from the connecting state in which the feed pipe 360 is connected to the Pachinko ball introduction pathway 410 to the state in which the projection 600c is moved in the direction of separating from the feed pipe 360, the connection member is urged with the resilient deformation of the connection member 600 itself in the direction of pressing the projection 600c toward the feed pipe 360.
