Application: Retrofit devices for providing virtual ticket-in and ticket-out on a gaming machine (Patent ID: US20240212447A1)
The patent filed by International Game Technology Plc describes a gaming system that allows patrons to use their portable electronic devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to interact with electronic gaming machines. These machines can issue both virtual and printed ticket vouchers that can be redeemed for credits or cash on the machines. The system involves components like gaming communication protocols, network components, processors, and memory devices to facilitate the exchange of data related to gameplay, bonus events, and ticketing events between the electronic gaming machines and portable devices.
The system's method involves receiving data related to gameplay and bonus events from the electronic gaming machine and network, respectively. When a ticketing event occurs, data is communicated to the printer of the gaming machine to print a ticket associated with the bonus event, independent of any cashout input. The system's processor, distinct from the game controller of the gaming machine, executes instructions to manage these communications and interactions. Additionally, the method includes receiving input data from mobile devices, blocking data communication between the game controller and printer during ticketing events, and ensuring seamless operation of the gaming system.
