A game machine having a speaker whose sound transmitting holes are not exposed to the front side of the game machine so that the speaker is protected from a wire-shaped object, which would otherwise be inserted through the sound transmitting holes, destroying the speaker. A speaker 22 is installed on the wall of a cancel shoot 21 that is installed near a pay-out hole 12 through which medals are paid out to the player, so that the speaker 22 will not be exposed to the pay-out hole 12. Specifically, the speaker 22 is installed at a position that is displaced from the immediate back of the pay-out hole 12. In addition, the sound transmitting unit of the speaker 22 is attached on the wall of the box-shaped cancel shoot 21 toward the interior of the box-shaped cancel shoot 21. As a result, effect sounds generated by the speaker 22 propagate through the interior space of the box-shaped cancel shoot 21, and are transmitted outside of the game machine via the pay-out hole 12. Thus, the speaker 22 is hidden inside the game machine 22, and the effect sounds generated by the speaker 22 are transmitted from the pay-out hole without being confined inside the game machine 22.
