We are talking about the coin or token used here, often different size tokens were used to original coinage. Not saying this the case, but is possible. What is clear is it paid in tokens if award card is correct.... Or, it made a 'token payout', as suggested above. Which, to me, seems the more like...

On the only EdiStan machine I have, (Greyhound Stadium), the loser is shown when the odds and the winning dog don't match. Perhaps a hidden word 'LOST' lights up when the table has stopped flashing. I can'...

I'd like a close-up of the mech.
