DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a money changing machine attachment system for a gaming machine island for placing a money changing machine in the middle of the gaming machine island.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Hitherto, a counter has been placed in the middle of a gaming machine island containing a large number of gaming machines such as pachinko ball machines (Japanese pinball machines) and ball lending machines (which may be omitted). A bill changing machine has often been placed on the ends of a gaming machine island or provided independently of the gaming machine island.
Generally, gaming machines are managed for each gaming machine island. However, if a bill changing machine is placed independently of the gaming machine island as described above, there is a high possibility that the player changing a bill at the bill changing machine may play games at another gaming machine island. As a result, accurate data for each gaming machine island cannot be obtained.
Each gaming machine island lacks appeal and convenience attractive to players, thus failing to catch valued players.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
It is therefore one object of the invention to provide a gaming machine island having a structure enabling accurate data collection for each gaming machine island.
It is another object of the invention to provide a money changing system and a money changing machine attachment system for enabling a money changing machine to be placed in a gaming machine island or adjoining a counter.
To these ends, according to a first form of the invention, there is provided a gaming machine island comprising gaming machines for players to play games with game play media and for paying out game play media to players as a prize, a counter for counting the number of game play media input from an outside, and a money changing machine for changing a bill or coin into bills or coins of a smaller denomination, the money changing machine having a transverse position placed adjoining the counter.
In this case, the counter is preferably installed substantially at the center of the gaming machine island.
Preferably, the gaming machine island further includes a storage section for storing bills or coins and means for transporting the bills or coins between the storage section and the money changing machine. Further, the gaming machine island may include a game play media lending machine for receiving cash from players and lending game play media to them and the transport means may also transport currency received at the game play media lending machine to the storage section. Preferably, the storage section is installed at an end position of the gaming machine island.
According to a second form of the invention, there is provided a money changing system attached to a gaming machine island comprising a plurality of gaming machines for players to play games with game play media and a counter for counting the number of game play media input from the outside, the money changing system comprising a stacker being placed at an end position of the gaming machine island for storing bills or coins, a money changing machine having a transverse position placed adjoining the counter for changing a bill or coin into bills or coins of a smaller denomination, and a transporter for transporting bills or coins between the money changing machine and the stacker.
According to a third form of the invention, there is provided a money changing system applied to a gaming machine island comprising a plurality of gaming machines for players to play games with game play media, a counter for counting the number of game play media input from the outside, and a game play media lending machine for lending the game play media to players in exchange for currency, the money changing system comprising a stacker being placed at an end position of the gaming machine island for storing bills or coins, a money changing machine having a transverse position placed adjoining the counter for changing a bill or coin into bills or coins of a smaller denomination, and a
