Then if a predetermined amount of coins is reached, this is in the dispenser or the additional amount of coins in the Circulating body transferred. So if a winning amount of coins is greater than the predetermined amount of winnings or, for example also the specified fill level of the circulating body, then the circulation body continues to the higher win amount filled and this then in the output device transferred.
  • Another advantageous training is that the in the symbol game facility or in the special game facilities won coins in the jackpot facility be accumulated and when the jackpot win value is reached can be transferred into the output device, whereby the player can enjoy the jackpot.
