Definitions

  • one of the key elements for making the management of this game as profitable as possible consists in playing the greatest possible number of games in a predetermined period of time.
  • Bingo games are basically conducted in the following manner: in the hall, several vendors of cards offer these for sale to players after removing them, during the previous draw, from a fixed collection device which is attached to the cashier's desk and inside which they deposit the proceeds for the game being played.
  • the collection devices known hitherto are divided into compartments, where each compartment corresponds to a single vendor and constitutes the sole point of exchange of money and cards between vendor and cashier.
  • the cashier during a draw, removes the money deposited by each vendor, counts it and prepares the prizes which will be distributed at the same time as the cards for the next game.
  • the cashier also deals with handling of the cards, in the sense that he/she ensures that they are ready for distribution in the associated compartment of each vendor when the latter deposits the money received for the sale of the cards for the game being played.
  • the same compartment stores together, for each vendor, coins and banknotes which are then removed, together, by the cashier, separated and counted separately.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore that of eliminating the abovementioned drawbacks.
  • the main advantage obtained by means of the present invention consists essentially in the fact that coins and banknotes are transferred from the vendor to the cashier in a non-static manner: in particular the coins may be collected in a special space so that they can then be counted automatically, thus relieving the cashier of this duty.
  • part of the structure used extends in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the overall dimensions of the collection device.
  • the invention concerns an apparatus for managing money and playing accessories in games hall, in particular intended for bingo.
  • the apparatus comprises at least one money sorter (1) in which two separate paths (2, 3) for coins and banknotes are distinguishable, in such a way as to transfer separately coins and banknotes from a first seat (2a, 3a), where they deposited by an individual vendor, to a second seat (2b, 3b), where they are available for the cashier.
  • the path (2) intended for the coins comprises a slide (4) with sidewalls (4a), in which the second seat (2b) mentioned above consists of a tray in which the coins are collected.
  • the path (3) intended for banknotes comprises a carriage (5) movable on guides (5a) and able to contain and displace the banknotes.
  • the apparatus in question is composed of a multiplicity of money sorters (1) arranged alongside each other, so as to have the possibility of transferring coins and banknotes from all the vendors to the cashier simultaneously.
  • a further advantage of this apparatus consists in the fact that, along the path (2) intended for the coins, downstream of the second seat (2b) of each money sorter (1), there is a coin counter (6) which can be activated by the cashier and which is able to count the coins automatically, thus relieving the cashier of this duty.
  • the second seats (2b) have a sliding base (8) which opens up into a corresponding connecting channel (7) allowing the coins to reach the coin counter (6).
  • the apparatus may be equipped with at least one banknote counter (6a) which can be activated by the cashier and is able to count automatically the banknotes supplied from each of the second seats (3b) of the path (3) intended for the banknotes.
  • the apparatus described here should not be excessively bulky: for this reason it comprises a card container (12) arranged on top of each corresponding money sorter (1).
  • Said container which is shown here with a winged V shape, is filled by the cashier and emptied by the vendor who then, if necessary, puts back there any unsold cards, which will be destroyed.
  • the maximum efficiency of this apparatus is achieved by equipping it with an electronic control device (9) which can be activated by the cashier and is able to perform at least the operations consisting in managing the movement of each sliding base (8) of the second seats (2b) of the path (2) for the coins, so as to define selectively the base (8)) which is opened, and repeatedly activating the coin counter (6) so as to obtain separate counting of the coins supplied from each of these second seats (2b).
  • an electronic control device (9) which can be activated by the cashier and is able to perform at least the operations consisting in managing the movement of each sliding base (8) of the second seats (2b) of the path (2) for the coins, so as to define selectively the base (8)) which is opened, and repeatedly activating the coin counter (6) so as to obtain separate counting of the coins supplied from each of these second seats (2b).
  • the electronic control device (9) may for example be activated by the cashier by pressing a pushbutton which causes both operation of mechanical means (13), causing sliding of the base (8) of one of the second seats (2b), and activation of the coin counter (6): in this way, and by repeating the same operation for all the money sorters (1), counting of the coins deposited by each individual vendor is achieved.
  • the electronic control device (9) also performs storage, in special memory spaces, of the results of the individual counting operations performed by the coin counter (6), execution of cash-till operations and acquisition of externally input data, such as, for example, the results of manual counts or other data processed by other computers for statistical purposes.
  • the apparatus also comprises means (11) for transmission of the results of the counting operations externally, operation of which is managed by the electronic control device (9).
  • a machine for issuing receipts relating to the counting operations performed
  • at least one display for displaying the results of the said counting operations
  • at least one line for connection to a remote electronic processor, or other forms similar to these.
  • the apparatus envisages the presence also of a banknote counter (6a).
  • the electronic control device (9) also performs the repeated activation of said device so as to obtain separate counting of the banknotes supplied from each of the second seats (3b) of the corresponding path (3).
  • the electronic control device (9) also manages supplying of the money corresponding to the amount of the prizes for each game.
