Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0303137A1] The apparatus has a housing (1) and is composed essentially of an automatic gaming machine (2), a return unit (3) and a collecting container (12). Articles, for example empty cans, are introduced into the return unit (3). By the actuation of the actuating lever (4) of the gaming machine (2), the article is first checked for size and weight. When it is found to be suitable, the article is fed to a press (7), where it is reduced in volume and subsequently discharged into the collecting container (12). The actuation of the actuating lever (4) gives the person introducing the article the chance of a win. The gambling urge in almost every person is intended to ensure as complete a return of articles as possible. <IMAGE>
