  • conventional coin-operated slot machines are used in which the coin validator device (entry of money) and the hopper for outputting any winnings (dispensing money) are disconnected or blocked.
  • the connections of the slot machine for the coin validator device and the hopper are instead connected to the machine interface of a chip card adapter module.
  • the player chip card When playing on the machine, the player chip card is then inserted and read into a corresponding opening in the chip card adapter module or the chip card reader / writer integrated therein.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de machines à sous avec lesquelles on peut jouer avec des cartes à puces (19) au lieu d'argent liquide. A cet effet, des machines classiques à sous (1) sont pourvues d'un module adaptateur (10) à cartes à puces qui est relié à la machine à sous (1) au lieu de l'agencement de vérification des pièces de monnaies (entrée d'argent) et de la trémie (sortie d'argent). Le module adaptateur (10) à cartes à puces comprend un agencement de commande et d'entrée (12, 14, 16), au moyen duquel est entrée une mise déterminée, un agencement de lecture/écriture (18) de cartes à puces, une interface (26) de raccordement avec la machine à sous, un agencement générateur (22) de signaux équivalents aux signaux de sortie générés par des agencements de vérification des pièces de monnaie de machines à sous et qui correspondent à la mise entrée, et un agencement convertisseur (24) qui convertit des signaux du type des signaux de commande de la trémie dans des machines à sous en signaux correspondants de commande d'un agencement de mémorisation (19, 21, 34). Une pluralité de machines à sous (1) pourvues de modules adaptateurs (10) à cartes à puces peuvent être raccordées par un réseau (30) à un ordinateur central (34).
