Abstract

PURPOSE:To make efficient circulation control possible with almost no medal delivered in an island so as to provide convenient use for a customer and further to improve workability by feeding a medal through a collecting conveyer from a medal counter and providing a medal polisher connected to a medal tank. CONSTITUTION:In an island unit, a number of medals, acquired from each slot machine A, is displayed in a counting displayed part 3 by a medal counter B. A receipt or a card is delivered from a printer or a card readwriter C. The receipt or the card is carried by a customer and exchanged with a prize. In the case of paying back the counted medal to be used for a game, the medal is paid back by pressing a delivery button 6. The medal, counted by the medal counter B, is fed with a medal, discharged from the slot machine A, to a medal polisher 5, polished and fed to an upper medal tank 2. Thus, the medal can be supplied by a supply conveyer 1 from the medal tank 2 to each slot machine A. Accordingly, almost in the island, the medal can be circulation-controlled without delivering the medal to the outside.
