A data transfer network with at least one slot machine (200) having a value unit transfer element (300) and a data transfer link (123) connected to a central processing unit (1). Between each slot machine and the transfer link is a device (400) that provides a multichannel link including a first main channel (410) connecting to the central processing unit (1) via the network data transfer link (123), a second main channel (420) connecting to the slot machine (200), and a secondary channel (430) connecting to the value unit transfer element (300). A data transfer switching and coordinating means enables data to be transmitted between the slot machine (200) and the value unit transfer element (300), and data to be transmitted between the slot machine (200) and the data transfer link (123).
