Duo-Mat machine on 6 pence

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 likely interpretation.

The coin path looks entirely standard for this machine meaning deposited coins are fed to the payout tube until full then overflow into the cash box. I can’t therefore see how it can pay tokens. Hence the interpretation of ‘token payout’ meaning consolation....
