  • Patent number: 5104129
    Abstract: An arrangement for a game playing device comprising a game playing apparatus which controls a prize delivering machinery (10), a feeding device (7) for a token (8) for starting the game playing apparatus against a payment, and a tuner (11) controlling the prize delivering machinery.
