The red is for +12 volts dc power to operate the electronic coin acceptor. Black is common for both the power and the coin signal sections. White is the coin signal output (coin accepted and credit pulse issued). The two gray wires go to a 12 volt dc coin counting meter (optional) which is not necessary for this unit to function. The coin counter is an accessory.

I'm not experienced with computers, just commercial coin-op arcade games. The only wires you need are black ground (common) and white (coin signal). These are the output wires you need. Can't help you with where they would go on your computer though.

I agree with Ken.

Earth wire connected as normal and the white goes to number 5 (credits) on your keyboard.
You dont need a coin counter. They are used for book-keeping by arcade operaters.

Dont forget the 12V power supply too, which is red.
