Abstract: A device for distributing prizes comprising a safe having access thereto through a locking door. The locking mechanism on the door is controlled by means of a microprocessor. A player enters an input signal by means of either a pushbutton or dropping a card through a slot. A counter counts the number of input signals and compares it to a preset number. When the input signals equal the preset number, the latch on the door is released amid a flurry of lights and sounds. The prize within the safe can be withdrawn by the player. A remote control latch releasing means provides a means to override the counter to allow the operation of the locking mechanism so that a selected player can be allowed to remove the prize from the safe.
