Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0261838A2] In a gaming or amusement machine coins are dispensed from a stack tube (1) by a payout slide (6) which moves horizontally to push the bottom coin (10) into an ejection chute (11). In contrast to previous arrangements, the coins are stacked on edge, one above another in the stack tube (1) which takes up less space in the machine than conventional, cylindrical stack tubes in which the coins are stacked flat. The stack tube (1) may be formed conveniently by machining a groove (2) in the side wall (3) of the machine and by attaching a flat strip (4) to the wall (3) to close off the groove (2).
