Which term specifically refers to the device that accepts paper money into a gaming machine?

• A. bank note acceptor (BNA)
• B. cashbox
• C. audit mode
• D. bet

Answer: (A)

Bank note acceptor is the device that accepts paper money into a gaming machine. It is designed to physically accept banknotes, validate their authenticity and denomination, and credit the player’s balance. In practice it may also be called a bill validator. The cashbox is simply where money is stored after acceptance, audit mode is a diagnostic setting for reviewing transactions, and a bet is the amount wagered. So the bank note acceptor best fits the function described.
