Abstract
A modified coin track assembly for known slot machines of the type which is generally operated by a person first inserting a coin of a certain value into the machine which causes the machine to be conditioned for a gaming operation, and by the person then initiating a gaming operation. The modified coin track assembly receives the inserted coin and checks the coin for certain predetermined parameters such as thickness, surface light reflectivity and an attached string, and prevents condition of the machine for a gaming operation if the coin does not have those predetermined parameters or has a string attached.
