ABSTRACT:
A game-credit control apparatus suitable for use with gaming machines each configured to store accumulated credits in response to a game and to transmit a counter signal of accumulated credits in response to receiving a reset signal is disclosed. The game-credit control apparatus includes a junction box, a credit controller, and a payout counting mechanism. The junction box has multiple junction ports each of which are configured for communication with one gaming machine. The credit controller includes a connector communicating with the junction box and reset switches communicating with the connector. Each reset switch corresponds to one of the junction ports and is formed to selectively trigger a reset signal. The payout counting mechanism communicates with the connector and is formed to receive the counter signal of accumulated credits.
