After each play, the number of plays for which credit remains will be reduced and hence the number of plays indicated on the display 22 will be reduced by one. Of course, the exact monetary value of coins credited could alternatively be displayed, which would decrease appropriately after each play. Alternatively, the machine could be coin operated, that is to say the start mechanism would operate automatically upon insertion of a correct denomination coin or sufficient coins. In this case a display such as display 22 would not be required. Such mechanisms as well known to those skilled in the art and hence further description is not considered necessary.

In this event, an input from a machine operator, which is indicated in dotted lines at 43 in Figure 2, may be provided, from for example a keyboard internally of the machine, and in place of panel 24, a digital or other display indicated in dotted lines at 44 may be provided to show the exchange rate selected by the operator.
