Definitions

  • This invention relates to thermal gaming tickets and more particularly to encoded thermal gaming tickets.
  • Such gambling tickets usually have a thermal side on which a barcode is printed which represents a cash payout amount and a non thermal side which is used for venue promotional material.
  • thermal payout ticket is widely used.
  • a poker machine will print out a thermal ticket which carries a printed code and the jackpot payment value to be paid on that poker machine.
  • the printed code is registered in the payment system of the gaming venue at the time of printing.
  • the player takes the thermal ticket to a payout office within the gaming venue to obtain cash in exchange for the ticket.
  • Thermal gaming tickets are not negotiable outside the gaming venue and to make a payment, the cashier must have a match with the code and if this is successful the payout system advises the cashier the amount of money to be paid.
  • the player after winning an amount on the slot machine, presses the collect button and receives a ticket. He puts the ticket with the credits/cash amount back into another machine via the banknote validator which accepts both cash and thermal gaming tickets, this system is called TITO (ticket in/ ticket out). This therefore transfers the credits/cash amount to another gaming machine for the player to continue to play.
  • TITO ticket in/ ticket out
  • the note validator will accept a photocopied ticket as it is looking for a barcode that matches the system of the venue as a genuine ticket.
  • the fraud occurs when the photocopied ticket is put into the note acceptor before the genuine ticket is presented as the ticket can only be verified once by this system.
  • the ticket is presented to a cashier who can detect a photocopied ticket because of its appearance.
  • an encoded gaming ticket incorporating a security system comprised by a row of non- visible encoded ink strips on the ticket.
  • the ink strips may be incorporated in the venue logo as a segment or part of the design not necessarily as stand alone ink strips.
  • the encoded ink strips may be on one side of the ticket or on both sides of the ticket.
  • the payout cashier would be provided with a reader so that the encoded ticket would be scanned, and if successful, pass through to the normal payout procedures.
  • the encoded ink strip may be applied to the gaming ticket in any convenient way by any convenient means.
  • an encoded gaming ticket incorporating ultra-violet printing on the thermal side of the ticket adapted to be read by a note validator and metallic ink one side of the ticket adapted to be read by the note validator.
  • the encoded gaming ticket of the second aspect of the invention is particularly useful for encoded gaming tickets for the Ticket in Ticket out
  • the encoded gaming ticket may carry additional thermal wording VOID which is revealed if the ticket has been photocopied or scanned.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of the front face on an encoded gaming ticket
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the rear face of the encoded gaming ticket shown in Fig. 1.
  • the front face 10 of the encoded gaming ticket 11 shown in Fig. 1 is the thermal side of the ticket on which is printed a barcode 12 which represents the cash payout amount 13.
  • the rear face 14 of the encoded gaming ticket 11 shown in Fig. 2 has an open area 15 for printing of promotional material such as the venue logo in colour.
  • the ticket printer specifies by firmware, the location and coding of a second security system which may comprise a row of non-visible strips in magnetic, infra-red, ultra-violet or photocopy prevention inks.
  • the printing is achieved by chemical applications and is invisible.
  • the preferred location is within the open area 15 but any available area on the front or rear of the ticket may be used.
  • one aspect of the invention is to print or otherwise apply various chemicals that are readable or recognised by a note validator, these could be printed on either side of the ticket.
  • the selected ink is printed onto the gaming ticket in an unknown pattern that may be incorporated into the venue logo/promotional printing on the back of the ticket therefore hiding the area which is secure.
  • the note validators will have software loaded in them recognising the position and amount of the ink and confirming the ticket is a genuine ticket issued by the venue and not a photocopy which of course does not have the security code on it.
  • a note validator may not only be in a gaming machine, it may be in a cashier's cage or in a redemption terminal where a customer can redeem his ticket for cash rather than continuing playing.
