Coin operated gaming machine with separate coin magazines

摘要

The gaming machine has a pivoted coin magazine in which are located four separate magazine tubes (2-5), each assigned to a specific denomination coin. The tubes serve to stack the coins prior to transmission to a counting stage.Coins are fed into the system via an inlet channel (6) and pass into the respective tubes. Within the tubes are slots (7,8,9, 10) allowing entry. A set level is fixed by bottom edges (11,12,13). Once filled an overflow facility allows the coins to be transmitted to an external container (18). Electrical circuitry controls operation of the transfer of coins from the tubes
