PURPOSE: To automatically supply coins to a slot game machine, by providing a means to open a coin discharge port after a pneumatic coin introduction port is opened on the basis of a signal from a coin level meter. CONSTITUTION: When a blower 4 of a coin conveying conduit 3 is started with a shutter 6c opened, air is sucked into the blower 4 at an air intake port 3c. When a signal indicating the insufficiency of coins is outputted from any coin level meter of a slot coin machine 1, a pneumatic coin introduction port 5a is opened while a shutter operation space 3b is closed by a shutter control means 7 and a coin discharge port 5c and then, the air intake port 3c are closed so that air flows through the coin conveying conduit 3 bypassing the inside of a coin catcher 5. Coins in a hopper 10s are conveyed by air and caught to be accumulated in the coin catcher 5. As the coins are accumulated to a specified quantity in the coin catcher 5, after the opening of a shutter 6c, a shutter 6b works to open the coin discharge port 5c and the coins drop into the slot coin machine 1. A shutter 6a works to close the pneumatic coin introduction port 5a. |
