  Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-21686 (Patent Document 1) discloses a conventional device that can be used as a prize dispenser provided in a game store such as a pachinko store.

  FIG. 20 shows a prize dispenser disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-21686. As shown in FIG. 20, the prize dispenser 201 employs a configuration in which a plurality of cassettes 208 are arranged side by side in the depth direction of the lane with respect to one lane (premium delivery outlet 202c). The outer shape (width) of the dispenser 201 can be designed more freely. Reference numeral 206 denotes a display unit, and 202a denotes an opening / closing lid.

  In each of the prize dispensers 201 shown in FIG. 20, a display unit 206 is provided on the side of the opening from which prizes are dispensed. These correspond to an aspect called “customer-side throwing”. The “customer-side throwing” is a mode in which the player himself / herself checks the operation of the prize dispenser 201 while using the display unit 206 to pay out the prize, and the player himself / herself takes out the prize. That is, the opening where the prize is paid out is arranged toward the customer side.

  Even when this “customer-side throwing out” is adopted, a display unit for maintenance operation, giveaway supplement operation, etc. of the prize dispenser 201 is provided on the back side (sales clerk side) of the opening where prizes are dispensed. It is preferable.

  On the other hand, there is an aspect called “shop side throwing”. “Store-side throwing” is a mode in which a store clerk operates the prize dispenser 201 while using the display unit 206 to pay out a prize, and then the store clerk hands the prize to the player. That is, the opening where the prize is paid out is arranged toward the store clerk side. When this “shop-side dispensing” is adopted, a display unit for the player to confirm the operation of the prize dispenser 201 is provided on the back side (in this case, the customer side) of the opening from which the prize is dispensed. It is preferable that

  In short, in any case of adopting “shop-side throwing” and “customer-side throwing”, in addition to the display part on the side of the opening from which the prize is paid out, it is opposite to the opening from which the prize is paid out. It is preferable that a display portion is also provided on the side.

Based on such a view, the applicant of the present invention pays out a premium of a type in which a display is provided on the side opposite to the opening from which the prize is paid out in addition to the display on the side of the opening from which the prize is paid out.
