Summary:An amusement or skill games with prizes machine has means for registering a score or its equivalent and comparing it with that registered in a previous play. If that is bettered the machine issues a token, such as a ticket, with details recorded on it. At the end of a sequence, the player with the best performance can redeem a prize through his token, possibly directly through the machine.

In an alternative a central computer may send questions to a plurality of satellite computers.
