Abstract

1. Verfahren zur Steuerung eines Münzauszahlvorganges an einem münzbetätigten Unterhaltungsautomaten.
2.1 Münzbetätigte Unterhaltungsautomaten mit Gewinnmöglichkeit umfassen eine Münzauszahleinheit. Durch Gewinnballungen übersteigen gelegentlich die gewährten Gewinnwerte das Münzvolumen der Münzauszahleinheit. Mit der Neuerung soll gewährleistet werden, daß eine Einsatzbereitschaft eines Unterhaltungsautomaten mit Gewinnmöglichkeit auch bei höheren Gewinnwerten gewährt wird.
2.2 Zu diesem Zweck wird bei einer Auszahlung geprüft, ob durch die Auszahlung ein Mindestfüllstand in der Münzauszahleinheit nicht unterschritten wird. Bei Unterschreitung eines Mindestfüllstandes wird nur der Münzbetrag ausgezahlt, der nicht durch ein ganzzahliges Vielfaches einer Banknote erstattet werden kann.

Figure imgaf001
A method of controlling a coin payout process on a coin operated amusement machine.
2.1 coin-operated amusement machines with profit possibility include a coin payout unit. Due to accumulation of winnings, the granted prize values occasionally exceed the coin volume of the coin payout unit. The innovation is intended to ensure that a willingness to use an amusement machine with profit opportunity is granted even at higher profit values.
2.2 For this purpose, a check is made as to whether the payment will not fall below a minimum level in the coin payout unit. If the level falls below a minimum level, only the amount of coins that can not be refunded by an integral multiple of a banknote is paid out.
