A money operated gaming machine has a box-like housing and a door pivoted on one side wall and able to be locked to such housing, such door bearing on an outer side thereof game areas and a design characterizing the game. In the housing there is arranged a coin unit which consists at least of a coin inlet, a coin testing mechanism, coin distributing and guiding mechanism coin stack tubes and a coin paying out mechanism. At the side wall of the housing, located on the opening side of the door, rails are attached for a carriage holding a frame, which is provided with holding mechanisms for the individual modules constituted by the components of the coin unit. To facilitate simpler and clear installation and maintenance of the coin unit, at the inner side of the back wall of the frame a printed circuit board with U-shaped and knife-like limbs constituting contacts is held, which on insertion into the frame of a module provided with contact springs come into conducting contact with the contact springs.

A coin operated entertainment machine includes a housing, viewing windows disposed on the housing, and rotating bodies disposed within the housing behind the viewing windows. The rotating bodies have symbols thereon which can be displayed behind the viewing windows. A computer control unit determines a win or loss of a game played on the entertainment machine based on combinations, showing through the viewing windows, of the symbols on the rotating bodies. At least one enticement device is disposed within the housing and includes an enticement element visible from a region outside the housing. The enticement element further comprises individual mirror segments thereon.

A testing device for bank notes, or similar instruments of payment in sheet form for automatic vending machines, has a testing channel (20) with a transport device (7) and scanning devices for recognizing and checking the authenticity of the bank note (3). An input channel (2) of variable width is in front of the testing channel (20). The input channel (2) includes two channel halves (21), one on either side of the longitudinal center axis (22) of the input channel (2). The two channel halves (21) can be adjusted synchronously against the force of a spring. In their contact position, the channel halves (21) determine the minimum width of the channel, and in their separated end position they determine the maximum width. A bank note (3) of any type is introduced into the input channel (2) at its locked maximum channel width as far as a passage detector (19) arranged in a starting region of the testing channel (20). The passage detector (19) unlocks the channel halves (21), as a result of which the side walls (23) of the channel halves (21) are pressed by the force of a spring against the bank note (3) and align it centrally with the testing channel (20).

A transport device (10) conveys a disc holder (7) with a disc (1) between a disc magazine (4) and another disc magazine (4), between a disc magazine (4) and a running gear (5), or between a disc magazine (4) and a disc loading and issuing slide (11). Two horizontally movable extractor devices (9) on the transport device (10) travel simultaneously in opposite directions crossing each other between a ready position and a transport position. In the ready position, the extractor devices (9) are ready to engage a disc holder (7) from a disc magazine (4). In the transport position, the extractor devices (9) have traveled to their end positions on the transport device (10) and are ready to engage the disc holder (7) to transport the disc holder (7) to another disc magazine (4).

A disc player has two opposite disc magazines with a plurality of disc holders which each receive a disc and are arranged one above the other in compartments. A transport arrangement movable in the direction of the stack of discs in the magazine conveys a desired disc with its associated disc holder between the compartment and a playback unit. The transport arrangement has a horizontally movable pulling-out arrangement provided with a carriage with a pick-up arm. In order to simplify the construction, the pick-up arm, which is rigidly linked to the carriage of the delivery arrangement, may be horizontally moved between and vertically moved within the disc magazines.

A combination includes a plurality of disc assemblies, each having: a disc; a cassette having a window and a sliding element adapted to open and close the window, the disc being disposed in the cassette so as to be accessible by a playback unit of a disc player through the window. The combination further includes a disc player having: a playback unit; a disk magazine including a plurality of disc compartments disposed to form a stack, each of the compartments being adapted to receive a corresponding one of the disc assemblies therein; a transport device travelling toward and away from the stack for transferring a pre-selected disc assembly between a corresponding receiving compartment and the playback unit; and a plurality of cassette holders, each holding a corresponding one of the disc assemblies therein and further being adapted to be gripped by the transport device for being transferred between a receiving compartment and the playback unit. Each of the cassette holders further have: a frame; a catch fixed to the frame for moving the sliding element of the cassette into an open position when the corresponding one of the disc assemblies is inserted into the cassette holder; and an elastic projection distinct from the catch fixed to the frame for moving the sliding element into a closed position when the corresponding one of the disc assemblies is removed from the cassette holder.
