- inter-digital reinforcement members being positioned between adjacent pairs of the finger portions; and
- a plurality of fingertip reinforcement members, each fingertip reinforcement member being positioned on a palm side of a distal end of an associated one of said finger portions, each fingertip reinforcement member having a length extending from the distal end of the associated finger portion along a longitudinal axis of said associated finger portion to an interior edge of said fingertip reinforcement member, said length of each said fingertip reinforcement portion being less than about one fourth a length of said associated finger portion such that said interior edge of said fingertip reinforcement member is adapted to be positioned between a fingertip and a distal knuckle of the user when the glove is worn by the user for facilitating free movement of the distal knuckle of the user during use, said fingertip reinforcement members being for preventing wear of the distal end of the finger portions from handling coins dispensed by a slot type gambling machine.
