Ticket-In, Ticket-Out

Ticket-In, Ticket-Out

Ticket-In, Ticket-Out (TITO) is a technology used in more modern slot machines. Originally developed by International Game Technology (IGT) and Casino Data Systems (CDS)Fact|date=November 2007 under the name EZ Pay, a TITO slot machine prints out a barcoded slip of paper, which can then either be redeemed for cash, or inserted for play into other TITO machines. The machines utilize a barcode scanner built into the bill acceptor, a thermal ticket printer in place of a coin hopper (some rare machines are set up to pay with coins if the payout is less than the payout limit, and to print a ticket in situations where a handpay would normally be required) and a network interface to communicate with a central system that tracks tickets.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any system, TITO has its share of advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

*Hopper fills for TITO machines are virtually eliminated.
*Casino patrons no longer have to wait for an attendant to perform a hand pay for large payouts.
*Makes multi-denomination gaming machines possible.

Disadvantages

*May cause some people to disassociate gambling using tickets from gambling using cash, in much the say way "credits" are indicated on some machines rather than a cash value.
*Tickets can be easier to misplace than a large bucket of coins.
*The lack the of the sound of a big coin pay out is turnoff for some players.
