ABSTRACT:
A simplified coin dispenser for a gaming machine prevents jamming of coins when paying them out. The coin dispenser is provided with a bucket for accommodating a plurality of coins used as game media in the gaming machine. A rotary disk and an associated rotary drive for rotating same are provided at the bottom of the bucket. The rotary disk has a plurality of circular openings that are disposed side-by-side along the circumference thereof, each of the circular openings being circular in shape and dimensioned to permit a coin to enter therein. A coin-feeding guide plate and a coin receiving plate are disposed under the rotary disk so as to be rotated in unison with the rotary disk. Coins that have entered the circular openings are received at the coin receiving plate and are guided by the coin-feeding guide plate in a direction radially away from the center of the rotary disk. The coins then are energetically ejected from a coin outlet. The coin receiving plate has inclined portions formed integrally therewith for inclining the coins that have entered the circular openings of the rotary disk and for moving them away from the center of the rotary disk. Also, a gap having a thickness that corresponds to the thickness of a coin is maintained between the rotary disk and the coin receiving plate.
