  • the separation of coins by coin types at the coin output of each machine is done downstream.
  • Coin recognizing pulses generated thereby are supplied to the appliance counter of the corresponding machine for adding and parallel to an inventory counter of a central coin collecting container.
  • the resulting during game operation excess unsorted coins are fed to a Münzgeldtresor. From this, the coins are removed when changing banknotes.
  • the disadvantage is that in addition to the emptying of the coin collection container in the bill exchange device and another centrally arranged in the stand system coin vault must be emptied.
  • a system for activating card functions in coin-operated machines which comprises a device for receiving cards such as e.g. Has smart cards or credit cards.
  • a device for reading the information stored on the cards is connected to a central control unit of the machine.
  • the device for reading the cards is designed such that at least two different card systems are provided for different functions. All cards of the system can be connected to the same device for recording, identification and evaluation of cards and the central control unit of the machine recognizes the type of an input card via predetermined identification features and only the function associated with this card is subsequently released.
  • the invention is based on the object of ensuring a readiness for use in a coin operated machine, even after granting higher profit values.
  • the method according to the invention has the advantage that emptying and a concomitant standstill and replenishment of a machine is prevented and thus continuously ensures that use of the machine is permanently guaranteed.
  • the machines are thus always ready for use.
  • a player with a higher winning value, which comes exclusively in coins to pay out, has the need to change the variety of coins in banknotes.
  • Such a change operation e.g. supervision in a gaming venue is no longer necessary since the substantial portion of the profit value is paid out by banknotes issued by the regulator.
  • each gaming device a record be kept of the accepted bets, the scores obtained, and the amounts of money deposited.
  • an amount to be paid out by the machine in banknotes is not immediately given to the player by the supervision of a gaming establishment, but the banknotes are first fed to the machine so that the amount of the bill fed to the machine is equal to the amount of the banknote Is subtracted from the credit counter.
  • a correct accounting is carried out within the machine. This procedure ensures that not only the gambling hall balance is correct but also every balance of each machine.
  • an identification card reading device 4 preferably a contactless chip card reading and power transmission device is provided with a control unit 5 of the monetary value actuated machine 1 is connected.
  • the coin channel 3 is adjoined by the programmable electronic coin validator 2, to which at least one coin container is assigned, wherein the coin receptacle preferably takes place in coin-specific coin stack tubes 6 for the values 0.10 EUR, 1 EUR and 2 EUR with respective auxiliary-actuated payment means 7.
  • the electronic coin validator 2 is connected to the control unit 5 of the coin operated machine 1.
  • the control unit 5 comprises a microcomputer system not shown in detail.
  • each monetary actuated coin stack tube 6 can be controlled.
  • the coins or tokens issued from the coin stack tubes 6 are fed to a coin receiving tray 8 via a coin delivery channel (not shown). From this, the user of the machine 1 can see the issued coins or tokens or tickets.
  • the coin value of an accepted and accepted coin or token determined by the coin validator 2 is transmitted to the control unit 5 and accumulated in a euro credit counter of the control unit 5.
  • the euro credit counter is assigned a seven-segment display means 9.
  • An accepted or accepted token is assigned a predetermined amount of euro. From an accepted coin, the coin value associated with the coin is accumulated in the euro credit counter and displayed with the associated seven-segment display means 9. Furthermore, a game device 10, consisting of e.g. of three juxtaposed, disc-shaped and provided with profit symbols rotating bodies activated. Each circulatory bodies of the game device 10 is a non-illustrated as a stepping motor drive unit, which is activated by the control unit 5 and shut down in randomly determined detent positions assigned. The game play can be influenced by actuating at least one of the controls 5 connected to the control elements 11. Furthermore, the control unit 5 comprises a multi-pin socket 12 for connecting a service keyboard thirteenth
  • the control unit 5 After supplying a credit this is managed by the control unit 5 and displayed with the display device 9 associated with the credit counter. The winnings generated in the game are accumulated in the credit card. After pressing a predetermined control element 11 of the recorded credit balance is brought to pay. After requesting a payment process is checked by the control unit 5, whether by paying out the credit balance, a predetermined level in one of the coin stack tubes 6 is reached. If the predetermined minimum coin level in one of the coin stack tubes was undershot by the payout process, then the control unit 5 determines which partial amount of the amount to be paid, for example EUR 247.40, is to be paid out by coins and which partial amount by banknotes. For this purpose, it is checked which partial amount is payable by an integer multiple of 5. The difference to the credit is through coins refunded.
  • the control unit 5 supplies a payout pulse to the payout device 7, which is assigned to the EUR 2 stacking tube, and four payout pulses to the payout device 7, which is assigned to the 10 cent stacking tube. Subsequently, the coin validator 2 is blocked by the control unit 5 for accepting coins. The amount still to be paid is displayed flashing with the display means 9. The remaining amount eg 245.00 EUR will be paid by the operator of the machine 1 eg by banknotes. For this purpose, the control unit 5 checks by means of which denomination the retained amount can be paid out by corresponding banknotes. Subsequently, a chip card 14 is fed into the coin channel 3 by the operator of the machine 1. The supplied chip card 14 has a special identifier.
  • This identifier is in the control unit 5 assigned a function that is registered in a memory for the acquisition of accounting data that the amount of credit shown in the display means 9 was manually paid and marked accordingly in a data read.
  • the credit counter is reset after removal of the chip card 14 to zero. Likewise, the coin validator 2 is switched to accept again.
  • FIG. 2 shows the elements of the invention, which are shown in the block diagram of a cash-actuated automatic machine 1, in particular a coin-operated amusement machine with a profit possibility.
  • the coin operated unit 1 comprises a coin channel 3 leading from a windshield not shown to a coin validator 2.
  • the coin channel 3 is adjoined by the programmable electronic coin validator 2, which is subsequently provided with coin-specific coin stack tubes 6 for the value 0.10 EUR, 1 EUR and 2 EUR with respective power-operated payout device 7 are assigned.
  • the electronic coin validator 2 and a device 15 for acceptance, authentication and value determination of banknotes are connected to the control unit 5 of the coin operated machine 1.
  • the control unit 5 comprises a not shown in detail Microcomputer system.
  • the respective payout device 7 of each monetary actuated coin stack tube 6 can be controlled.
  • the coins dispensed from the coin stacking tube 6 are fed to the coin receiving tray 8 via a coin dispensing channel, not shown. From this, the user of the machine 1 can remove the issued coins.
  • the coin value of an accepted and accepted coin determined by the coin validator 2 or the value of a banknote 16 fed to the device 15 is transmitted to the control unit 5 and accumulated in a credit counter of the control unit 5.
  • the credit meter is the seven-segment display means 9 assigned.
