A high speed paper ticket dispenser is disclosed wherein a motor that drives a drive roller having a smooth contact surface is in proximity with an idler roller. An endless round belt that moves tickets rapidly serves as the drive roller. A supply of paper tickets from a tray, roll, or other is fed between the two rollers, and the motor causes the driver roller to push the tickets through a ticket dispensing slot in a game or other device. To prevent improper withdrawal of tickets from outside the dispensing slot, a wedge or brake is applied by a motor lever or solenoid between the ticket chain and the drive roller to resist movement of the tickets. The wedge or brake is automatically withdrawn when the motor engages and the drive roller begins to dispense tickets.

A gift card presentation device that is operative to receive a gift card (or gift card holder) therein. The gift card presentation device contains a spring-loaded lever panel which is operative to move an internal spring (or springs) between a compressed and uncompressed states. The spring controls movement of a gift card or gift card holder placed into an opening on the gift card presentation device. When the lever moves the spring from the compressed state to the uncompressed state, the gift card is completely ejected from the gift card holder presentation device.
