Abstract

An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet, a display mounted to the cabinet, a wireless interface for communicating with a portable electronic device, a network interface for communicating with a validation server, a bill validator coupled to a game controller configured to accept bills and printed ticket vouchers, and a removable cash box. The game controller includes a processor and a memory configured to control a wager-based game played on the EGM, redeem virtual ticket vouchers and printed ticket vouchers, receive an indication to transfer value to the EGM via a virtual ticket voucher, receive the virtual ticket voucher including a virtual ticket voucher validation number from the portable electronic device via the wireless interface, validate the virtual ticket voucher with the validation server via the network interface, deposit a credit amount associated with the virtual ticket voucher, and notify the validation server that the virtual ticket voucher is redeemed.

1. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

associate the ticket voucher information with an electronic record, and

subsequent to the association of the ticket voucher information with the electronic record and responsive to an event occurring independent of any electronic gaming machine, cause the amount of funds to be transferred to an account accessible to the user, and

responsive to an event occurring in association with the first issued cashless ticket voucher and an electronic gaming machine and responsive to the authentication of the first issued cashless ticket voucher as valid and non-redeemed, cause the amount of funds to be transferred to a credit balance of the electronic gaming machine.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the amount of funds are transferred from an account associated with a gaming establishment cashless ticketing system.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic record comprises a virtual ticket voucher.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory device stores a plurality of further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to authenticate the first issued cashless ticket voucher as valid and non-redeemed.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the account accessible to the user comprises a financial institution account accessible to the user.

7. A system comprising:

a processor, and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

responsive to a receipt of ticket voucher identification information encoded by an optically-formatted image printed on a cashless ticket voucher issued by a gaming establishment cashless ticket voucher ticketing system and captured by a mobile device associated with a user, convert the cashless ticket voucher to a virtual cashless ticket voucher, wherein the ticket voucher identification information comprises an amount of funds, and

responsive to a receipt of data associated with an account accessible to the user and responsive to an authentication of the issued cashless ticket voucher as a valid, non-redeemed cashless ticket voucher:

cause the amount of funds to be transferred to the account accessible to the user, and

cause the issued cashless ticket voucher to be designated as redeemed by the gaming establishment cashless ticket voucher ticketing system.

associating, by a processor, the ticket voucher information with an electronic record, and

subsequent to the association of the ticket voucher information with the electronic record and responsive to an event occurring independent of any electronic gaming machine, causing, by the processor, the amount of funds to be transferred to an account accessible to the user, and

responsive to an event occurring in association with the first issued cashless ticket voucher and an electronic gaming machine and responsive to the authentication of the first issued cashless ticket voucher as valid and non-redeemed, causing, by the processor, the amount of funds to be transferred to a credit balance of the electronic gaming machine.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the amount of funds are transferred from an account associated with a gaming establishment cashless ticketing system.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the electronic record comprises a virtual ticket voucher.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising authenticating, by the processor, the first issued cashless ticket voucher as valid and non-redeemed.
