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. The system involves components like gaming communication protocols, network components, processors, and memory devices to facilitate the exchange of data between the electronic gaming machines, printers, and patron-controlled devices.
The system's operation 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 via a gaming communication protocol component to print a ticket associated with the bonus event. This printing process is independent of any cashout input received by the gaming machine. The method also includes receiving input data from mobile devices, blocking data communication between the game controller and printer during the ticketing event, and ensuring the processor is distinct from the game controller of the electronic gaming machine.
