发明名称 Apparatus for detecting the illumination of a player-operated gaming machine button
摘要 An operation device is attached externally, e.g., by magnetic tape to a coin-operated entertainment machine, the machine have an actuable player operable button such as a stop button or a gamble button. The device is operable to detect when the player operable button is actuable and, in response, to operate the button. The device may detect the actuability of the button by, for example, detecting the illumination of a lamp in the button or other part of the machine, or by detection of a change in voltage/current associated with the button's actuability. In a preferred embodiment, the button is a push button and the operation device is attached so as to bridge the button. The device incorporates a cam mechanism to operate, i.e., push, the button on detection of an appropriate signal indicating that the button is actuable. In another embodiment, the device incorporates a solenoid-operated member to operate the button.
