Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1031951A1] The method involves using individual value coin stack tubes and a common note processing device (15) that is either integrated into one of the games devices (2-3) or spatially separate from the games devices and bi-directionally connected to computer-controlled control units (14) in the games devices. The ability to play one of the games devices is selected under button control. At the end of a game a remaining cash sum is output under computer or button control selectively in coin form at the games device and/or as notes via a notes dispenser (18) in the note processing machine.
