Benefits of technology

The patent allows casino staff to view detailed information about a player's transactions with different types of money, including bills, coins, and cashless tickets. This helps them quickly identify any mistakes in the reading of the money and provide immediate feedback to the player. This improves efficiency for casino staff, ensures the player is not inconvenienced, and reduces security risks.

Problems solved by technology

The growth and competition in the casino gaming market in recent years and the increasingly sophisticated and complex technology being integrated into the gaming environment, at the individual game, casino management, and auditing levels, presents both challenges and opportunities to game manufacturers, gaming establishment operators, and regulatory agencies.
Issues can arise regarding the inputting monetary instruments.
A common problem occurs when a player disagrees with the monetary amount or the number of credits that the gaming device credits him with.
This process is inherently time-consuming for the player and casino staff, requires that the gaming device be unavailable for a significant period of time, and raises issues of security.
Further, the display does not include the date and time of the deposit or withdrawal of monetary instruments from the gaming machine, and thus makes it impossible to verify specific transactions related to the monetary instruments.

Abstract

A system has one or more gaming devices including gaming machines and other devices. At least one transaction reading device is coupled to the gaming devices and reads information associated with the monetary instruments associated with the gaming devices. A host computer is operatively coupled to the transaction reading device. A database is associated with the host computer and is configured to retrievably store the information associated with monetary instruments. A data display device is operatively coupled to the host computer and retrieves and displays a list of the monetary instruments in response to input from a user. The data display device can be associated with a wireless remote device, wired to the host computer or associated with the gaming device. The list of the monetary instruments includes information associated with each of the monetary instruments. The list of the monetary instruments can include information from selected gaming devices.
