Abstract
An electronically actuated coin slider provides an appearance and operation similar to a conventional coin-activated slider without the use of coins. A card reader activates the coin slider and allows a user to push the slide bar to actuate a game, machine, or device in a manner similar to that of a convention slider. A servo motor engages or disengages latching hooks to prevent or allow operation of the slide bar.

An electronically actuated coin slider, comprising:
- a frame configured to mount to a game or machine;
- a slide bar extending between first and second ends positioned in and supported by the frame and slidable between first and second positions;
- a latch hook attached to the frame and movable between a first latched position in which the latch hook prevents movement of the slide bar and a second unlatched position in which the latch hook allows movement of the slide bar;
- a servo motor coupled to the latch hook and operable to move the latch hook between the first and second positions.
