Italian term or phrase: APPARECCHI SENZA VINCITA IN DENARO
Sto traducendo un articolo dove si parla della fiera degli apparecchi da intrattenimento, che comprende slot-machine ma anche apparecchi dove non c'è vincita in denaro. Qualcuno sa il traducente inglese?

La frase è questa: per quanto riguarda il settore degli apparecchi senza vincita in denaro, il presidente dice...."

Grazie!!!

neutral  philgoddard: Based on Kate's definition, this is not quite right because it could include payouts in tokens.//I'm just saying that your use of the word "cash" is ambiguous.

  -> Whilst it's interesting to hear what you imagine this machine may give out, the text says APPARECCHI SENZA VINCITA IN DENARO. Period.

Explanation:
The previous Kudoz question makes it sound like you can't win anything on the machine. I think the idea is that you can win cuddly toys or similar things, just not money.

See category D here:

Actually, after reading this definition:

Gli apparecchi e congegni da divertimento ed intrattenimento senza vincita in denaro si distinguono in due diverse tipologie caratterizzate rispettivamente da:
possibilità di ricevere un oggetto in premio (gru, pesche di abilità, ecc...)
semplice intrattenimento (videogiochi e apparecchi meccanici ed elettromeccanici come biliardo,calcio balilla, flipper, ecc...)

I suggest "gaming machines with non-money or no prizes".

agree  philgoddard: It's good that you actually looked up the definition. Agree with your last suggestion.
6 hrs
disagree  Tom in London: The text says "APPARECCHI SENZA VINCITA IN DENARO". NOthing else. The translator should not make any assumptions about what, if anything, it does pay out

  -> No assumptions made here. I think you'll find my reference is from quite an authoritative source.
