Abstract: A bill acceptor assembly for accepting bills, vouchers, scrip, tickets and/or currency at a gaming table. The bill acceptor assembly includes a validator assembly capable of accepting a stack of individual notes in a receiving slot mounted to the gaming table, processing the notes one at a time, and passing valid notes through a hole in the gaming table or along the back edge of the gaming table to a cash box located below the gaming table.

Abstract: An acceptor-dispenser validator system for accepting bills, vouchers, scrip and/or currency into, and for distributing currency or a currency equivalent from, an electronic gaming machine or alternative type of customer service device is disclosed. The system includes a note acceptor-dispenser assembly to be mounted in or on the machine, the note acceptor-dispenser having a note validator to sense the authenticity, denomination, amount and type of the note passing there through and issue a signal corresponding to the note type to the acceptor-dispenser's processor and the host machine's processor for accumulation of credits. A note box is provided to receive deposited notes as is a note hopper to receive and dispense notes intended for payouts.

Abstract: This invention is generally directed to a note or bill acceptor having a bezel adapted to display detailed information about the status of the bill acceptor, and other information related to its operation. The bezel is positioned at the intake slot of the bill acceptor. The bezel employs multiple indicators to visually display information. For example, the enhanced bezel may include indicators to display error conditions such as “note box full” or “transport path jammed” conditions, and other information useful for maintenance and diagnostic purposes. Additional visual indicators may display set up information, such as which denominations the bill validator of the machine is programmed to accept, display prompts or instructions to assist the player, such as a display of the denomination of the last bill accepted, or even simple decorative patterns. The bezel may provide additional status information, such as a jammed transport path or full note box, for use by attendants.
