BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prize dispensing device for a mobile ball counting machine that can move within a hall and count prize balls.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as seen in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-110864 filed by the present applicant, a mobile ball counting machine capable of inserting and counting prize balls has been known.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, although this type of mobile ball counting machine can be moved around the hall and used conveniently by customers, it is difficult for customers to use it after counting the balls. Players had to line up at the counter in the hall to receive their prizes, which still posed the problem of requiring time and effort to exchange prizes.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been devised to solve such problems and to conveniently exchange prizes at the same time as counting, and for this reason, prizes are paid out to the mobile ball counting machine. It is configured to be integrally equipped with a prize dispensing machine, and is also configured so that a receipt indicating the number of odd balls after payment can be issued from the prize dispensing machine.

[0005]

[Function] Therefore, the ball counting machine can be moved around the hall and placed appropriately as in the past, and customers can use it conveniently, and at the same time as counting the balls, they can conveniently receive prizes on the spot. You can also receive a receipt displaying the fractional amount after payment.

[0006]

[Example] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the entire mobile ball counting machine.
Aircraft A that can be moved by casters 1 includes:
A ball receiving section 3 that opens upwards to the internal tank 2, a lift section 5 that can raise the internal balls and feed them to the game island from the discharge port 4, a count display section 6, a payment button 7, a power connector 8, and a signal. In addition to arranging and configuring the connector 9, etc.,
The prize dispensing machine B, which is integrally installed above the aircraft A, is
The upper opening/closing door 10 can be opened to store prizes inside, a prize payout port 11 is provided at the front of the lower part, and an issuing port 12 on the front side is capable of issuing a receipt displaying the number of half-balanced balls after payment. It is configured by providing a prize number display section 13, a payment button 14, etc.

[0007] Therefore, the ball counting machine can be moved within the hall and installed at the game island by connecting both connectors 8 and 9, as in the past, and the customer can insert the prize balls won at the game island from the ball slot 3. Then, the user can conveniently receive the prize from the payout port 11 on the spot, and can purchase another prize by receiving a receipt displaying the half-number after payment from the issuing port 12.

[0008] The prize dispensing machine can also be installed on the side or upper rear of the machine body of the counting machine, or it can be constructed in a large size.

[0009]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention allows customers to settle their winnings using a ball counting machine that can be moved around the hall and conveniently placed near the game island, and at the same time conveniently receive prizes on the spot. This means that you can now conveniently receive your prize without having to go to the prize settlement office in the hall, as was the case in the past, and you can also receive a receipt that shows the fractional amount after payment on the spot. The present invention has a feature that the prize dispensing machine is integrated into the mobile ball counting machine and can be suitably implemented with a simple structure.
