Definitions

  • Money-operated entertainment devices are known in various embodiments. As a rule, such entertainment devices have one or more gaming devices. Most commonly, they include a symbol player in which recirculating bodies behind readout windows display winning or losing symbol combinations. At different levels, money and / or points and / or special game winnings are offered or given with an increased chance of winning over the normal game or the like.
  • Such entertainment devices have at least one of several individual profit display panels additional game play device in which played in the symbol playing device game result or played is cumulated.
  • An additional win game device may be, for example, a risk play device, in which a decision is made on increasing or total loss of the profit.

  • Money-operated entertainment devices usually have a money processing device via which a deposit of monetary values and a disbursement of monetary gains takes place, as it is known, for example from DE 42 05 791 Al and DE 42 40 797 Al.
  • the cash processing facility includes i.a. a bill validator whose operation can be divided into the following steps:
  • the payable cash reserve of a coin-operated entertainment device is basically limited by the capacity of coin stack tubes or a Hoppers and possibly the banknote storage, so that it comes in particular in the payment of larger cash gains regularly to a so-called empty payment or Leespielung.
  • the amount of money to be spent exceeds the money supply.
  • emptying the service staff must refill the money supply of the entertainment device with coins, so that the proper payout on the entertainment device to the player is guaranteed.
  • money can be paid directly by the service staff via the so-called hand-pay function. In other countries, e.g. in Germany, this function is prohibited by law, i. the payout must necessarily be made on the entertainment device.
  • a disadvantage of this method for eliminating the emptying is that the (residual) payout with coins on coin stack tubes or hopper is done. For this purpose, a sufficient number of coins must be thrown.

The mathematical product of coin value and number of coins is recorded in the monetary statistics of the entertainment device as "replenishment".
  • this object is achieved in that the entertainment device is transferred in an emptying in a Friedelmodus for banknotes, then entered into the bill validator and found genuinely banknotes computer controlled as Auf glycollbetrag in a monetary statistics separately and the banknotes directly from the banknote storage for profit payment again will be decremented by the amount spent.
  • the task is also solved by the steps: Indication of empty playing in the event of a pending payout;
  • the replenishment and (residual) payout of the entertainment device is not realized as usual with coins but with banknotes.
  • the registration of the banknote found to be genuine takes place as a top-up amount in the monetary statistics, which is only available internally in the entertainment device for statistical purposes. Therefore, in the credit display, an amount of money is displayed that does not coincide with the actual cash supply amount and not with the monetary money replenishment amount.
  • the replenishment amount by banknotes serves only to ensure a sufficient amount of money to pay out cash winnings to the player and thus to remedy the vacancy situation.

  • the disadvantage, however, is that when a break in the entertainment device immediately a very large amount of money is lost.
  • a relatively high cash reserve required for payment is required only at the time of entry of empty emptying and can previously be safely stored in the vault.
