Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for billing and cashing of coin-operated machines, in which a counter is provided which records the amounts of money generated, the amount accrued in each case being fed to a computer and in which the cash amounts exceeding a specified minimum coin reserve are separated via a coin flow switch according to coin types outside the Automats are removed and counted, and a system for performing the process.
  • Vending machines in amusement arcades, casinos and other vending machines have a typical circulation of money: Coins are required for the operation of the vending machines, but customers often do not have enough small change amounts, so that the operator always has to keep considerable amounts of change in stock. On the other hand, the machine sales of the aforementioned companies are only in the form of coins, which leads to considerable amounts of coins and problems in terms of cash registers.
  • the machines usually have to be opened so that the operation of the machine in question has to be interrupted. The checkout requires particularly trustworthy personnel.
  • Vending machines must always have a minimum coin reserve. Additional cash amounts can be removed from the machine.
  • special devices are used, such as are described, for example, in German patent application P 36 04 212.9. If a plurality of machines have to be billed and cashed at one installation site, this is perceived as being extremely cumbersome and labor-intensive, with the risk of security and manipulation constantly being present.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for the billing and cashing of a plurality of coin-operated machines in arcades, casinos and other machine configurations, by means of which the labor and security requirements for billing and cashing can be optimized, the system being largely one of them Tamper-proof, central and clearly informative billing system.
  • the problem is solved by separating and counting the coins emerging from each machine according to the type of coin, adding up the counted values in a device counter and in parallel in the inventory counter of a central cash register or coin type collection container, and separating and counting the coins either according to the type of coin to a central one Coin type collection container or a central cash register container.
  • a coin sorting device is arranged at the coin exit of each coin-operated automatic machine, the output of which is connected to a coin type collecting container or cash register container by means of a conveying device.
  • the system 1 consists of three coin-operated machines 2, 3, 4, the z. B. can be slot machines. It is also possible to operate the system 1 with more machines, as indicated by the machine 5 as a follow-up machine.
  • Each of the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 has a coin slot 6 and a payout 7 for winnings, Return and counterfeit money on.
  • Each coin outlet 8 of the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 is assigned a coin sorting device 9, which has a coin outlet 18 for each of the coin types that can be used in the operation of the machines 2, 3, 4.
  • the coin type outlets 18 of the same coin type of different coin sorting devices 9 are each connected to a conveying device 23, which leads to a coin type collecting container 11 or cash register container 24.
  • a coin payout device 15 is provided at each outlet of a coin type collecting container 11.
  • the coin payment devices 15 are connected to the payment controller 20 of a bill changing device 16 and / or a withdrawal device 17 for coins.
  • the bill changing device 16 has a bill receipt counter 19.
  • a removal counter 30 is provided on each of the removal devices 17.
  • each coin sorting container 11 has an inventory counter 14.
  • the inventory counter 14 is connected to the coin sorting devices 19 of the machines 2, 3, 4 5.
  • the outputs of the coin payout devices 15 are connected via a coin switch 33 to a conveyor device 10, by means of which removed coins can be brought into a payout tray 22.
  • Via a conveying device 23 coins sorted by the coin sorting devices 9 of the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 are fed directly into a cash register container 24, on which an inventory counter 29 for the cash inventory is arranged.
  • each coin sorting container 11 via a coin path switch 33 to an intermediate store 26, in which, for example, a special coin roll packing device 36 or the like can be provided.
  • the packaged coin rolls can then be fed to a collecting container 25 via a further conveyor device 27.
  • This version is particularly advantageous when the amount of coins generated during operation of the system 1 is so great that the coin-type collecting containers 11 often have to be emptied.
  • the payment controls 21 of the removal devices 17 can be actuated by means of a key switch 13, coding switch, a magnetic card or the like.
  • the conveyor devices 10, 23, 27 can be designed as belt conveyors, belt pocket conveyors, pneumatic conveyors or the like.
  • downpipes 39, 38 are provided at the outputs of the coin type collecting containers 11 and the coin sorting devices 9, which extend to the conveying devices 10, 23, 27. Due to the possibility of being able to flexibly design the conveying devices 10, 23, 17, it is possible to provide coin sorting container 11, coin collecting container 24 and intermediate storage 26 at a greater spatial distance from machines 2, 3, 4, 5, with different levels in can be used in the buildings.
  • a special security area 37 such as, for. B. to provide a safe or a vault.
  • the suitable design of a corresponding conveying device 10 makes it possible to guide coins to be paid out from the secured area 37 into the payment trough 22.
  • special motor-operated locking elements 32 such as locking slides can be provided, which lock the breakthroughs when the system 1 is shut down and thus ensure a secure partitioning of the area 37 which is closed in terms of safety technology.
  • These locking elements 32 are expediently designed as quick-closing elements so that the area 37 can be safely and quickly blocked off for money in the event of danger.
  • the data outputs 28 of the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 can be connected to a central monitoring device. This makes it possible to forward an already internal detection of amounts of money thrown in, number of games carried out, profit classes that have occurred and amounts of money paid out directly to the central monitoring device.
  • the data outputs 28 can be the interfaces for evaluation printer connections present on machines 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • a central data display can also take place in the central monitoring device.
  • the coin sorting devices 9, coin type collecting containers 11, cash register containers 24, inventory counters 14 and possibly also the bank note changing device 16 in a safe-like cabinet.
  • the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 can be integrated in the safe-like cupboard or can be suspended or set up on the cupboard.
  • Such training enables a smaller number of machines 2, 3.4, the z. B. can still be operated by a player to summarize accounting and cash register technology.
  • the minimum stock of coins for maintaining the minimum coin reserve in the individual machines 2, 3, 4 is first ensured, which is done by means of coin quantities to be inserted into the machines 2, 3, 4.
  • the coin amounts exceeding the minimum coin reserve are discharged via downpipes 18 when using a safe-like cupboard as described above for Appendix 1.
