Definitions

  • Gaming machines similar to those shown schematically in FIG. 1 are used, in particular in casinos. These machines are generally in the form of a body 101, provided with a window 102 enabling the parameters of the game to be displayed. game.
  • the machine may include a side arm 103 for launching the game, which consists for example of scrolling symbols on the screen. In this example, the game is won if the symbols form a winning combination, and it is lost in the opposite case.
  • the smart card used in the game machine according to the invention will preferably have an external and electrical presentation identical to those currently standardized, such as prepaid or rechargeable cards which are found on the market and which in particular will allow to be able to cumulate the gains coming from the parts gained under the control of the reader.
  • the coin mechanism 114 comprises a mechanical part which makes it possible to receive the tokens 115 and to make them pass in front of a receiving antenna which allows a dialogue with these tokens which are provided with an integrated circuit making it possible to identify them in a secure manner and to determine their value.
  • the token consists of a metal crown 2 and two flanges 5 and 6 concentric with the crown and placed on either side of the crown.
  • One of the two flanges serves as a support for the electronic circuit.
  • the circuit can for example be fixed to this flange by gluing.
  • the circuit is then between the two joined flanges.
  • the interior space is filled with resin 8.
  • the flanges are made by thermoplastic injection.
  • the material used is resistant to impact and abrasion.
  • Polycarbonate, polysulfone, polytherimide possibly loaded with glass fibers could, for example, be used.
  • thermoplastic makes it possible to obtain different colors.
  • the colored tokens can be used for slot machines.
  • a logo or inscriptions can possibly be engraved in the mold.
  • the mechanical part of the coin mechanism 114 is connected to an electronic device 107 which makes it possible both to control the motors of the mechanical part and to carry out dialogue with the tokens.
  • This electronic device is connected to the card coin changer 124 so that the player can use one or the other of these coin acceptors.
  • the coin mechanism working by default will preferably be the coin-operated coin mechanism and the switch to the card-type coin mechanism will be done by inserting the card therein.
  • the card coin changer is itself connected to the electronic devices 108 of the game machine and the electronic circuits of the card coin acceptors are designed to interface with the standard interface of this electronic module 108.
  • the detector 310 detects its passage and the finger 306 comes out in the corridor, then the finger 304 retracts also allowing the arrival of a new token.
  • the detector 310 has the same function as the detector 309 and can therefore activate an alarm when a token is stuck.
  • the tokens which are put in bulk in a hopper 501 arrive in a sorting channel 502 where they immobilize in a first position, represented by the token 115, in front of a remote detection system 503 which makes it possible to determine first of all that it is a good token and then what is its value.
  • a roller wheel 504 which has a half-crown disposed on its circumference to delimit an interior hollow of the size of the token. In this position this half-crown is located upwards, which stops the token.
  • the roller 504 driven by a motor not shown starts to rotate, and when it has made a half-turn the token falls into the interior hollow of the roller.
