Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for billing and cashing coin-operated machines and an arrangement of coin-operated machines to carry out the method.
  • 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.
  • 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 number of machines have to be billed and cashed at one installation site, this is perceived as extremely incomprehensible and labor-intensive, with the risk of security and manipulation constantly being present. It has proven to be advantageous and accommodating the wishes of the players to combine several coin-operated machines into a machine group, the machines then being able to be played simultaneously by one player. The amount of hard cash required for this must then be kept ready by the operator of the machine or a bill changer. This is from the Players find it uncomfortable because the machines they have to leave have to be left and third parties can watch the procurement of cash.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for billing and cashing coin-operated machines and an arrangement of coin-operated machines with a device for their billing and cashing for installation in arcades, casinos and other suitable machine rooms, by means of which, on the one hand, a simple and largely Anonymous supply of coins to the players is made possible and the cashing of the relevant machines is facilitated, whereby a largely tamper-proof, central and clearly informative accounting system should also be available, and on the other hand machine groups in different layout geometries can be trained individually as required.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 A particularly advantageous embodiment of compact arrangements 39, 40 of machines is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in which groups of machines 41, 42 are shown.
  • the machine group 41 consists of three machines 2, 3, 4, a changer 43 and three further machines 5 (FIG. 1).
  • the machine group 42 consists of three machines 2, 3, 4 and a changer 43 (FIG. 2).
  • the money changer 43 is used to change banknotes into coin money.
  • the money changer 43 and the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 are arranged in a cabinet-like device holder 44 and optically form a one-piece unit.
  • the money changer 43 is expediently located in a safe-like security container.
  • a coin safe 51 is provided under the changer 43 (FIG. 1).
  • the coin safe 51 is also possible to arrange the coin safe 51 at another location on the substructure 45 (FIG. 2).
  • the changer 43 and the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 are fastened to a holding wall 46 connected to the substructure 45. It is also possible to attach the money changer 43 and the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 to a shelf-like stator housing 97 individually. Such a stator housing 97 is indicated by broken lines in FIG. 2.
  • Each stand housing 97 with automat 2, 3, 4, 5 or money changer 43 then forms an automat module 90 of the respective arrangement of automats.
  • the function of the arrangement 39 is like that of the arrangement 40 with the machine group 42, which is described in more detail below.
  • the coin safe 51 is arranged offset to the money changer 43.
  • Each machine 2, 3, 4 has a coin slot (not shown in more detail) with a coin validator, device cash register and coin stacking tubes with a coin payout device and a payout trough 50. The coin payout device is operated upon a corresponding game win. Coins thrown into the machines 2, 3, 4 are introduced into the machine 2, 3, 4 in the coin containers unsorted.
  • a sorting and counting device 47 which has two coin outlets 48, 49, is connected to the coin containers, preferably behind each machine 2, 3, 4.
  • the coin outlet 48 is connected by means of a coin channel 52 to the coin inlet 56 of a hopper 54 arranged in the changer 43.
  • the coin outlet 49 is connected to the coin safe 51 by means of a further coin channel 53.
  • a coin container 55 is assigned to the hopper 54 on the coin exit side, the coin dispensing devices of which can be controlled by the bill changing device 16.
  • Monetary Bill changing device 16 has a bill reader 62, which can be designed to read various banknotes by appropriate programming.
  • the banknote reader 62 of the banknote changing device 16 can carry out a perfect banknote check by means of a suitable spectral analysis, so that there is a high level of security against counterfeit products.
  • the bill reader 62 is followed by a device 101 (not shown in more detail) for preventing bill withdrawal, which is described in more detail below.
  • the bill collecting container 31 it is expedient to design the bill collecting container 31 as a box-like container which can be removed from the changer 43.
  • a banknote stacker to the banknote collection container 31, so that the banknotes are introduced into the banknote collection container 31 packed in bundles depending on their value.
  • the coin stacking tubes of machines 2, 3, 4, 5 are filled with the required amount of coin money.
  • the amount of the coins issued for winnings is recorded by the payout counter of the coin dispenser of the respective machine 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • additional coin money is sorted by means of the sorting and counting devices 47 to such an extent that a preferred type of coin money is fed to the changer 43 via the respective coin channel 52.
  • the preferred coin type will be the one that embodies the highest value as coin money.
  • the further unsorted coin money accumulating in the coin collecting container 58 (FIG. 3) of the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 remains unsorted and is supplied to the coin money safe 51 via the coin channel 53 leads.
  • the hopper 54 of the money changer 43 is automatically filled up by playing on the machines 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • the bill changer 43 can be designed in such a way that, if necessary, manual filling of the hopper 54 from the outside is possible without the coin collecting space of the hopper 54 having to be opened.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a further embodiment of the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 of the machine groups 41, 42, by means of which the handling of coin money is further simplified since no coin stacking tubes are required.
  • Both the coin money to be inserted into the machines 2, 3, 4, 5 during commissioning and the coin money introduced during the game operation via the coin slot 6 goes unsorted into a coin collecting container 58 of each machine 2, 3, 4, 5 a coin outlet 8 of the payment device with a payment trough 50.
  • the coin outlet 8 is connected to the coin collecting container 58 in the machine 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • the coin dispenser 61 is also connected to the sorting and counting device 47, as is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
  • the sorting and counting device 47 By means of the sorting and counting device 47, the unsorted coin money from the coin collecting container 58 is fed to the coin outlet 8, the payout counter 63 being used by the coin validator 59 issued coins added up.
  • the coin dispensing is interrupted. It is possible to position the coin dispenser 61 in such a way that certain types of coin are preferably dispensed. This makes it possible to relieve the coin collecting container 58 of low-value coins.
  • the player receives a large number of low-value coins when he wins, which will often cause him to get rid of these coins by continuing to play.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows a further embodiment of an arrangement of machines 2, 3, 4, 5 with a money changer 43.
  • a coin buffer 33 is arranged, which has an opening flap 34 on the bottom.
  • the output of the coin buffer 33 is assigned to a coin conveyor 17.
  • the end section 18 of the coin conveyor 17 on the conveyor side is guided up to the coin entrance 56 of a hopper 54 of a changer 43.
