Abstract: A gaming machine in which the form of pay out is selectable by the operator and/or user to provide a pay out with coins or by way of a ticket. The gaming machine incorporates both a hopper for coin operated play as well as a printer for cashless play. In accordance with one aspect of the machine, the system can automatically detect when one of the pay out systems is disabled or otherwise unavailable and automatically continue operation with the other pay out method to allow the machine to function in a limited state. The system thus helps the transition for players from coin operated machines to cashless gaming machines, and accommodates users with different cash out preferences. The gaming machine also accepts tickets, allowing users to easily move their credits from one gaming machine to another.
Abstract translation: 一种游戏机,其中支付的形式可由操作员和/或用户选择以用硬币或通过票证提供支付。 该游戏机包括一个投币式投币机以及一台无现金游戏机。 根据机器的一个方面,系统可以自动检测何时一个支付系统被禁用或者不可用,并且自动地继续以另一种支出方法操作以允许机器在有限状态下运行。 因此该系统有助于玩家从投币式游戏机转换为无现金游戏机,并为用户提供不同的现金选择偏好。 游戏机还接受门票,允许用户轻松地将他们的信用从一台游戏机移动到另一台。

Abstract: A dual action access door for a gaming machine that is formed from the lower front housing portion. In order to minimize the space required between adjacent gaming machines, while providing full access to the interior of the machine, the front housing portion is carried by a door chassis which enables the front housing portion to move in a drawer-like manner from a fully closed position to an extended position. In order to provide full access to the interior of the gaming machine, the front housing portion is pivotally connected on one end to the door chassis to enable the door to pivot about an axis generally parallel to a vertical datum in at least a partially extended position of the door chassis. One or more latching mechanisms may be provided to latch the front housing portion to latch the front housing portion in a closed position. The dual action mounting of the front housing portion allows full access to the interior of the gaming machine while at the same time enabling gaming machines to be placed closer together, thus optimizing the number of gaming machines that can be placed in a given area of a casino or other gambling facility floor.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes main and secondary displays. The secondary display is disposed apart from the primary display and is used for presenting primary, secondary, or even tertiary information. The main display is controlledelectronically by a gaming machine controller, which main display presents the results of a play on the gaming machine. In the case of a slot machine, the maindisplay may be the glass display through which the s pinning reels of a game playare viewed. In a video poker gaming machine, the main display is usually a cathode ray tube ("CRT") which displays a video game image to the player and other information directly associated with the game play. The secondary display may be provided at various locations on the gaming machine such as in a top glass portion of the gaming machine or a belly glass portion of the gaming machine, which belly glass portion is located below a main display portion of the gaming machine The secondary display itself may be a liquid crystal display, a cathode ray tube, a field emission display, a plasma display, a digital micromirror device (DMD), etc.

Abstract: A rotating bill acceptor (40) mounted inside a currency accepting machine (2) is disclosed herein. The bill acceptor (40) includes a bill validator (42) which accepts (or rejects) cash inserted by users of the machine (2) and a secure cash box (48) which stores the bills out of the machine users' reach. The entire bill acceptor (40) is pivotally mounted on a bracket (80) in the machine interior. During normal operation, the bill acceptor (40) is positioned such that its bill validator (42) portion extends through an opening in a locked door (16) on the machine's housing (4). Thus, the bill validator (42) is available to accept cash while the cash box (48) is protected within the machine interior. When it becomes necessary to remove the cash collected by the bill acceptor (40), a collection worker unlocks the door (16) on the machine's housing, thereby accessing a mechanism which allows the bill acceptor (40) to rotate out of its normal position and into a position in which the cash box (48) is accessible through the unlocked door (16). The collection worker may then replace the full cash box (48) with an empty cash box (68).
