1.12 Cash Output Systems
1.12.1 The cash output system must be resistant to manipulation by the insertion of any foreign object (e.g. into its output path).
Coin Hoppers
1.12.2 Where a gaming machine may be operated using coins and is fitted with a coin hopper, the hopper shall be located in a suitably secured area (generally within the gaming machine).
1.12.3 A hopper’s design and materials of construction must be of an acceptable quality and shall require no adjustments for at least the manufacturers recommended maintenance period.
1.12.4 The hopper must have a cover fixed evenly around the perimeter of the coin container, and the cover should have an opening only large enough to allow refilling of the hopper by the method intended by manufacturer.
1.12.5 Hoppers shall have detection devices that provide a method of enabling software to interpret and act, upon the following conditions:
a) hopper full, when the hopper full condition is detected, coins are to be diverted to the cash box (this hopper full level must incorporate a physical sensor);
Note : The hopper level adjust mechanism may be incorporated in the gaming machine’s software in conjunction with a physical sensor which can over-ride the SW counter.
b) hopper empty/ hopper jam; and
c) extra coin paid/hopper runaway (one or more unintended coins exiting the hopper).
Note : When possible the manufacturer is to distinguish between the hopper runaway and the extra coin paid out condition.
1.12.6 When power to the hopper is removed, the hopper is to prevent further coins from being dispensed without access to the secure area in which the hopper is located.
Cash Boxes
1.12.7 A gaming machine must provide an input for software to detect cash box door open / close.
1.12.8 Appropriate coin shunting must be provided within the gaming machine to deliver coins to the cash box.
