Can Slot Machines Detect Counterfeit Money

Other thing would be that they preloaded with point detector of the counterfeit banknotes series; i.e. 1990 100 notes counterfeit will have mark at the lower end of the back. This is a big science, but some good machines can detect close to 99 per cent (of course that leaves a lot of one big percent). In reality, comps are based on how much money you play through the machines and the casino's expected win from that play. In the early days of slot clubs, a dollar played in a video poker machine earned as many comps/points as a dollar played through a reel-spinning slot machine.

MAIN FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT:Test different denominations of coins and reject counterfeit ones while accepting correct coins to be sorted and counted

DESIGN PARAMETER:Coin Tester

GEOMETRY/STRUCTURE:

EXPLANATION OF HOW IT WORKS/ IS USED:

1. User deposits coin into coin slot on outside of machine. Coin slot is dimensioned to the width and height for the thickest and largest diameter coin to be accepted.
2. Coin rolls down a chute and past identification probe that determines the denomination by the coin’s material properties. The probe consists of two solenoids with their axis perpendicular to the longitudinal wall of the chute. Current is run through one solenoid which then generates a B field perpendicular to the coin axis of revoluion. The magnetic field passes through the coin, is attenuated by the coin's material properties and geometry before being received by the solenoid at the opposite end. The B field passing along the axis of the second coil generates a specific pattern of electric current, which can be matched with the correct coin.
3. a) Coin also activates switch that b) pulls slide member toward wall of chute (into page) by means of electromagnet, thereby preventing another coin from entering.
4. The probe sends information to timing mechanism for turning on of electromagnetic device that opens flap armature.
5. Coin falls down chute and onto first sorting weigher. The number of denominations to be accepted determines the number of sorting weighers (e.g. quarter,dime,nickel =3 weighers). Each sorting weigher is pivoted and contains a slot dimensioned to diameter of specific coin. The sorting weighers are arranged by size of coin to be accepted, with the largest coin size weigher on top. The left arm of the sorter weigher holds a counterweight that will be lifted only if the coin is the correct weight.
6. Sorting weigher pivots under the weight of coin and coin rolls toward chute.
7. Electromagnet turns on and the coin’s specific flap armature opens momentarily allowing coin to fall through chute.
8. Coin rolls down chute to be sorted.

DOMINANT PHYSICS:

t_I=time to i event
Opening of Flap armature: t_total = t_coin + t_armature
t_coin = time for specific coin to roll from probe chute onto sorting weigher + time for sorting weigher to pivot and coin to roll off sorting weigher
t_armature = time for armature to rise enough for coin to continue down chute

LIMITING PHYSICS:

The performance/use of the machine is limited by the position of the machine. If the machine is not seated on a level plane, then the coin will take longer to roll down the chute and the timing mechanism will open the flap armature before the coin can pass through.

WHERE TO FIND COINT TESTERS:

This design for the coin tester limits it to places where either electricity can by obtained or a battery connected. Coin testers have few moving parts and simple circuitry, making them inexpensive to manufacture. They are in most vending machines and slot machines where counterfeit coins need to be detected.

How Do Slot Machines Detect Counterfeit Bills

What people may not realize is that slot machines, video poker machines, and other electronic gaming devices make up the bulk of all that economic activity. At casinos in Iowa and South Dakota, for example, such devices have contributed up to 89 percent of annual gaming revenue.

Money Counterfeit Machine

Spinning-reel slots, in particular, are profit juggernauts for most casinos, outperforming table games like blackjack, video poker machines, and other forms of gambling.

What about slot machines makes them such reliable money makers? In part, it has something to do with casinos’ ability to hide their true price from even the savviest of gamblers.

The Price of a Slot

An important economic theory holds that when the price of something goes up, demand for it tends to fall.

But that depends on price transparency, which exists for most of the day-to-day purchases we make. That is, other than visits to the doctor’s office and possibly the auto mechanic, we know the price of most products and services before we decide to pay for them.

Slots may be even worse than the doctor’s office, in that most of us will never know the true price of our wagers. Which means the law of supply and demand breaks down.

Casino operators usually think of price in terms of what is known as the average or expected house advantage on each bet placed by players. Basically, it’s the long-term edge that is built into the game. For an individual player, his or her limited interaction with the game will result in a “price” that looks a lot different.

For example, consider a game with a 10-percent house advantage — which is fairly typical. This means that over the long run, the game will return 10 percent of all wagers it accepts to the casino that owns it. So if it accepts $1 million in wagers over 2 million spins, it would be expected to pay out $900,000, resulting in a casino gain of $100,000. Thus, from the management’s perspective, the “price” it charges is the 10 percent it expects to collect from gamblers over time.

Individual players, however, will likely define price as the cost of the spin. For example, if a player bets $1, spins the reels, and receives no payout, that’ll be the price — not 10 cents.

So who is correct? Both, in a way. While the game has certainly collected $1 from the player, management knows that eventually 90 cents of that will be dispensed to other players.

A player could never know this, however, given he will only be playing for an hour or two, during which he may hope a large payout will make up for his many losses and then some. And at this rate of play, it could take years of playing a single slot machine for the casino’s long-term advantage to become evident.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term

https://statsnin.netlify.app/slot-machine-average-payout.html. This difference in price perspective is rooted in the gap between the short-term view of the players and the long-term view of management. This is one of the lessons I’ve learned in my more than three decades in the gambling industry analyzing the performance of casino games and as a researcher studying them.

Let’s consider George, who just got his paycheck and heads to the casino with $80 to spend over an hour on a Tuesday night. There are basically three outcomes: He loses everything, hits a considerable jackpot and wins big, or makes or loses a little but manages to walk away before the odds turn decidedly against him.

Machine To Check Counterfeit Money

Of course, the first outcome is far more common than the other two — it has to be for the casino to maintain its house advantage. The funds to pay big jackpots come from frequent losers (who get wiped out). Without all these losers, there can be no big winners — which is why so many people play in the first place.

Specifically, the sum of all the individual losses is used to fund the big jackpots. Therefore, to provide enticing jackpots, many players must lose all of their Tuesday night bankroll.

What is less obvious to many is that the long-term experience rarely occurs at the player level. That is, players rarely lose their $80 in a uniform manner (that is, a rate of 10 percent per spin). If this were the typical slot experience, it would be predictably disappointing. But it would make it very easy for a player to identify the price he’s paying.

Raising the Price

Ultimately, the casino is selling excitement, which is comprised of hope and variance. Even though a slot may have a modest house advantage from management’s perspective, such as four percent, it can and often does win all of George’s Tuesday night bankroll in short order.

This is primarily due to the variance in the slot machine’s pay table — which lists all the winning symbol combinations and the number of credits awarded for each one. While the pay table is visible to the player, the probability of producing each winning symbol combination remains hidden. Of course, these probabilities are a critical determinant of the house advantage — that is, the long-term price of the wager.

This rare ability to hide the price of a good or service offers an opportunity for casino management to raise the price without notifying the players — if they can get away with it.

Casino managers are under tremendous pressure to maximize their all-important slot revenue, but they do not want to kill the golden goose by raising the “price” too much. If players are able to detect these concealed price increases simply by playing the games, then they may choose to play at another casino.

This terrifies casino operators, as it is difficult and expensive to recover from perceptions of a high-priced slot product.

Getting Away With It

Consequently, many operators resist increasing the house advantages of their slot machines, believing that players can detect these price shocks.

Our new research, however, has found that increases in the casino advantage have produced significant gains in revenue with no signs of detection even by savvy players. In multiple comparisons of two otherwise identical reel games, the high-priced games produced significantly greater revenue for the casino. These findings were confirmed in a second study.

Further analysis revealed no evidence of play migration from the high-priced games, despite the fact their low-priced counterparts were located a mere three feet away.

Importantly, these results occurred in spite of the egregious economic disincentive to play the high-priced games. That is, the visible pay tables were identical on both the high- and low-priced games, within each of the two-game pairings. The only difference was the concealed probabilities of each payout.

Armed with this knowledge, management may be more willing to increase prices. And for price-sensitive gamblers, reel slot machines may become something to avoid.
