Abstract
A shutter and an intake roller are mounted to a gate to form an integral structure. The shutter and the intake roller are interlockingly operated by the swinging of the gate. During the processing of a used ticket, the shutter prevents another used ticket from being inserted into the machine through the inlet port. Also, the used ticket is guided from the ticket transporting path to the recovery transporting path by the swing of the gate.
