ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a coin-operated amusement machine. Coins are received on a play area (21). Coins may be displaced from the play area (21) by a mechanism such as a coin pusher (5) or by movement of the play area itself. A counting hopper (8) receives and counts coins which have been displaced from a defined part of the play area, and generates a signal depending on the number of coins counted. A coin dispenser (10) can be operated by a user of the machine to dispense additional coins onto the play area (21). Coins are transferred from the counting hopper (8) to the dispenser (10) by a coin transport mechanism (9). A prize, which may consist of a pay out of coins or other non-cash prize, is dispensed to the user in response to the signal from the counting hopper (8)
