In pachinko halls equipped with slot machines, a predetermined number of game medals are automatically lent out by inserting bills such as thousand yen bills between game machines. Medal lending machines are arranged.
The present invention relates to this improvement.

In order to play a game with a slot machine, a player borrows a predetermined medal, which is a medium, from a medal lending machine and plays the game.
Currently, in the hall, a medal lending machine is set up so that 20 medals can be lent out in response to the insertion of a thousand yen bill.
However, in order to continue the game after the players have used up all of these 20 cards without any damage, they have to insert a thousand yen bill and borrow a medal again. It requires a work other than playing.
The purpose of this machine is to eliminate this cumbersome work, increase the convenience for the customer, and improve the operation of the hall.

In order to enhance this operation, there is a system that makes it possible to use large bills of over 1,000 yen.
This is because a new deposit machine is installed in the store, and the amount of money thrown by the player is written on a media such as an IC card or IC coin, and the media on which this deposit is written is inserted into a dedicated medal lending machine. When the game is finally finished, the media is inserted into the checkout machine, and the balance is paid out in cash. This is a system in which all game machines in the store, deposit machines, and clearing machines are network-connected to the hall computer.

When viewed from the hall side, the system extends to the entire network in the hall, so that the system installation cost and the system usage fee for this are enormous.

On the other hand, amusement machines distributed on each island in the hall are characterized by their manufacturers, and there are a variety of models that are easy to win even with a small amount.
The machine for lending medals between these machines can be covered by the functions of the conventional special machine for 1,000 yen bills.

That is, the present invention relates to a medal lending machine for high-value banknotes that can be easily installed as a single unit adapted to the model of each island.

(3) is a display unit which is composed of FIG. 2 3a (lending button), 3b (clearing button), 3c (error code display unit), 3d (remaining balance display unit).
(6) is a medal hopper.
(7) is a dispensing nozzle.
(8) is a medal supply port.
(9) is an MPU controller.

The operation will be described below.
First, as an example, when a player inserts 10,000 yen, a thousand yen medal (20 cards) is lent and the 3d balance indicator displays 9,000 yen. If the player runs out of 20 without hitting the game, and continues the game, pressing 3a (lending button) will lend 20 coins for 1,000 yen and 3d (remaining balance display) ) Is subtracted by 1,000 yen, and continues to display and hang up to 8,000 yen. After that, when the game is ended and the game ends, the balance is pushed into the dispenser of (1) when the settlement button 3b is pressed. Then, it is paid out with a thousand yen bill and finished. Deposit function. (Deposit function).
The management and display of the deposit function during this period is controlled by the MPU control board (9).
The error code display section 3c displays a history and the like as well as a payout number so that the contents of the error can be analyzed when a failure occurs during operation.

This machine, which operates as a single unit, does not require an auxiliary machine such as a deposit machine or a clearing machine, and does not require a network such as a hall computer. Along with the characteristics and operation of the gaming machines on each island, a low-cost special machine for thousand yen bills and a highly functional machine can be freely selected and arranged.
That is, since it is configured with the same outer dimensions as the thousand yen bill dedicated machine, the arrangement can be freely changed.

This configuration can be applied not only to slot machines but also to pachinko machines and other game machines.
