IGT presents the EZ
Pay Ticket System - the first system to provide players
more playing options and improve casino operations. This
advanced development from IGT answers the demand for
operational efficiencies and improved customer service.
The EZ Pay Ticket System
is an independent system that links EZ Play gaming
machines - equipped with thermal ticket printers and advanced
bill validators - for printing and reading of cash-out
tickets.
With the EZ Pay Ticket
System, you get the following features and benefits:
- Reduces//eliminates hopper
fills
- Simplifies hand pays
- Promotes
selectable-denomination gaming
- Permits tickets generated
at one machine to be inserted - just like currency - into
the bill acceptor of any other EZ Play machine on the
system
EZ Pay tickets can also be
redeemed at a properly equipped cashier station, change booth
or floor attendant.
A maximum of 50 gaming machines
can be linked together in a loop, with the ability to connect
numerous loops together using IGT cross-validation technology.
Multiple cashier stations for redemption are also supported.
Cash-out Versatility
EZ Play machines allow greater
flexibility in the control of slot operations. These machines
support use of both a hopper and ticket printer for cash-out
versatility. You may also select machines with only an in-game
ticket printer to eliminate coin handling. The combination of
hopper and printer gives you flexibility when determining how
the machine pays the player:
- Pay the entire amount from
the hopper if the amount is less than the payout limit,
otherwise print a ticket for the entire amount
- Pay a specified amount from
the hopper and print a ticket for the remainder
- Pay the entire amount by
ticket only You decide which option is best for your
operation.
You decide which option is best
for your operation. All three choices reduce coin fills and
associated labor. You and your players can also benefit from
increased play time - players wait for hand pays and hopper
fills less often, and spend less time waiting for coins to
drop into the tray. The machines also play realistic sounds of
actual coins dropping into the tray while printing tickets to
help maintain a lively casino environment.

Supported Machine Hardware
Tickets generated at EZ Play
gaming machines can be inserted into the bill validator of any
other EZ Play machine on the system. All new Game
King, Game
King Plus, Vision Series and S2000 models can be configured to
print and accept tickets.
Selectable-Denomination Game
Play
Many game themes support
selectable-denomination game play. With this feature, players
no longer experience the frustration of searching for their
favorite game on a machine that accepts the denomination they
want to play. Ask your account executive for detailed
information about supported themes.
Reporting
The EZ Pay Ticket System
supports federal guidelines for jackpot reporting. When a
jackpot or cash-out amount exceeds the single win limit
selected in the set-up pages of the game, the game locks up
and the system requests a hand pay payout. When the game is
reset it prints a receipt for the amount of the payout.
Although the EZ Pay Ticket
System operates independently, ticket data of interest may be
exported to a central accounting system. A sample of reports
includes:
- Expired Ticket Report
- Interim Validation Report
- Manual Tickets Report
- Session Reconciliation
Report
- User Access Security Report
- Soft Count Report
- Soft Count Exception Report
- Soft Count Verification
Report
- Machine Ticket Status
Report
- Ticket Issuance Report
- Ticket Liability Report
- Ticket Validation Report
- Expired Tickets Paid Report
- W2G Jackpot Report (tickets
flagged over a certain value not the IRS form)
- Gross Meters Report for
each machine (available on the CVT-Plus terminal)
The EZ Pay Ticket System is the
premier software solution to help manage slot operations for:
- Greater player satisfaction
- Increased operating
efficiencies
- Reduced labor costs
- Increased customer play
time with reduced wait time
- Increased profitability for
the casino
