Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a system for the payment of credits by slot machines.
  • the invention relates to a method and a system for the payment of credits. Such methods and systems are advantageously used in the field of slot gaming, for example in casinos or in gaming halls.
  • slot machines are known, which are operated with a certain prepaid by the player credit.
  • the slot machines are given a specific balance, this can be done by depositing coins or bills directly on the machine, but also by dropping or inserting a ticket in the slot machines or by inserting a smart card in the slot machines. Tickets or smart cards, for example, after payment of a certain amount of money by a staff of the casino or the machine can be issued. Both on the smart card and on the ticket a certain amount of money is stored in readable form for the game machine.
  • the amount of money can also be stored in a central server networked with the individual gaming machines, wherein the ticket has only one key, which refers to a storage space on the server to which the respective amount of money is stored.
  • the player wants to end the game, even though he still has credit available, he can effect the payment of his credit by pressing a payment unit.
  • the payment is made either by a direct cash payment, by issuing a new ticket with a newly printed credit amount, or by accumulating on the chip card.
  • the player can insert the ticket or the stored chip card in the same main game machine or in any other machine and start another game.
  • the respective ticket contains only one key, for example a reference to a memory location in the server to which the respective amount of money has been stored. If the ticket is read in by the gaming machine, the slot machine transmits the key to the server and receives from the server the respective credit amount.
  • Such a procedure enables the rapid transfer of larger amounts of money without the player having to carry the sums of money with him, if necessary, the player is also motivated to higher stakes. Furthermore, it can be avoided so that each individual player would have to carry a larger amount of small change, if not round stakes or gaming winnings or credits are paid or paid back. Furthermore, this advantageous procedure also the installation of coin dispensing equipment can be avoided at each of the slot machines.
  • the invention solves this problem in a method of the type mentioned above with the features of claim 1.
  • Another advantage results from the fact that, for example, in an error case when reading tickets in slot machines a comparatively simple tracing and determination of the amount to be paid for the player is possible.
  • the record is printed on a printer connected to the server and / or that the record is inserted into a stored in the server electronic permanent document that is available for printing is held.
  • the record printed in the time between the deposits of the record at the server and the transmission of the release record to the gaming machine and / or inserted at the end of the electronic document.
  • the data record is printed at least partially in the form of a barcode on the printer or inserted into the electronic document.
  • the release record in particular in the form of a barcode, is printed by the gaming machine and / or that the release record on a data connected to the slot machines and the slot machine associated storage medium, in particular a smart card is stored.
  • the number of tickets in circulation can be reduced enormously.
  • no tickets are available in circulation or in the slot machines, which are no longer valid.
  • the emptying of the machines superfluous on the other hand are no invalidated tickets in circulation, which significantly reduces the risk of fraud.
  • the invention relates to a system for the payment and confirmation of credits by means of a system comprising a server and a number of slot machines connected to the server.
  • a printer is connected to the server, wherein the server has a print control unit which, after receipt of the data record, causes the printout of the respective data record by the printer.
  • the payment unit has a ticket printer for printing out the release data record on a ticket carrier body, for example paper, or a chip card writing device for storing the release data record on a chip card and / or that the gaming machine is a reading device for reading tickets or of smart cards.
  • a ticket printer for printing out the release data record on a ticket carrier body, for example paper, or a chip card writing device for storing the release data record on a chip card and / or that the gaming machine is a reading device for reading tickets or of smart cards.
  • the reader (25) and the output unit (22) are integrated in a common device. This simplifies the operability.
  • This common device is formed in a preferred embodiment of the invention for deleting and rewriting the confirmation ticket (3).
  • the number of tickets in circulation can be reduced enormously.
  • no tickets are available in circulation or in the slot machines, which are no longer valid.
  • the emptying of the machines superfluous on the other hand are no invalidated tickets in circulation, which significantly reduces the risk of fraud.
  • a database for storing the incoming records is provided, each of the records a credit, possibly also other information such as a Identification number of the slot machine, the winning time and the winning day are assigned.
  • the server side or vending machine transmitting unit is preceded by an encryption unit that encrypts the incoming record according to predetermined criteria and provides the determined encrypted value as at its output the server side or vending machine transmitting unit available, the encrypted Value contained in record or sharing record.
  • another database is provided in which the release records are stored, wherein an association between each record and the respective after release of this record formed release record is stored, and / or that in each case a data record and the release data record formed after receipt of the data record are combined to form a common data record and stored in the database.
  • a preferred in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment of a system according to the invention comprises a server 1 and a number of connected to these slot machines 2.

  • said control device controls the display device 30 and, on the other hand, communicates with the operating keys of the control panel 35, whereby further functional components such as a profit output device, a cash input and money checking device can also be actuated by the control device.
  • the server 1 is advantageously accommodated in a separate secure space 200 which is separate from the space 201 in which the gaming machines 2 are located and is generally not accessible to the player.
  • the server 1 is connected to a printer 5 and further the server 1 comprises a memory for storing a database 15, 17 of data records 41 and release records, which is described in more detail below.
  • a game is carried out by a player or a user on one of the game machines 2, then the respective player has to pay for the execution of the game a specific stake or a specific fee.
  • This fee can be paid in different ways, either money can be thrown directly into the slot machine 2, or it can be made non-cash payment methods such as the reading of confirmation tickets 3 or by smart cards.
  • the player is entitled to perform a game by the performance of a specific fee or game.
  • Slot machine 2 comprises a game unit 20 in which the respective credit balance 102 of the player is stored. The balance 102 may vary depending on the outcome of the game. If the player wins the game, his balance 102 can be increased or free or bonus games can be given.
  • the player loses the game or if the game is a paid game whose fee is charged without depending on the outcome of the game, then the player's credit balance 102 is reduced. It is advantageous in this context that the player can perform an almost unlimited number of games in a row without having to make financial transactions between the player and the slot machine. It is thus also possible to store particularly small amounts of money or non-round amounts of money in the gaming machine and only after the completion of a number of games to the player his remaining balance 102 - if still available - to pay.
  • a data record 41 by which the player's payment request is transmitted to the server 1, is transmitted in encrypted form from the gaming machine 2 to the server 1.
  • the gaming machine 2 has an encryption unit (not shown in the figures) which is connected upstream of the transmission unit 23 on the machine side.
  • the data record 41 arrives at a server-side receiving unit 11 located in the server 1 (cf. Fig. 8 ).
