Ticket-In, Ticket-Out (TITO)

Ticket-In, Ticket-Out (TITO) systems have changed how players interact with modern slot and electronic gambling machines. Using a ticketing approach, TITO enables players to redeem their winnings more efficiently. Instead of handling a lot of physical tokens, players are issued barcoded tickets, which represent the money earned. These tickets can be easily redeemed at cash counters, improving the overall casino experience by reducing the need for a lot of physical tokens.

TITO machine works by printing a barcoded ticket that corresponds to the amount of money a player has. To achieve this, the system employs barcode readers, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for both players and casino staff. However, with the change from physical tokens to the ticketing system, the ticket itself must be accurate. The ticket must represent the winning information clearly to prevent difficulties for the barcode reader to read it. Otherwise, it could lead to unwanted scenarios.

The Importance of High-Quality TITO Tickets

When it comes to TITO tickets, the quality of the print and paper is important. This is because:

Security: The printed barcode contains vital information about the amount of money on the ticket. A clear, crisp image is necessary to ensure the barcode is readable by scanners, minimizing the risk of errors or fraud.

Dark Sensor Mark: TITO tickets often include a dark sensor mark to help machines read the ticket properly. This ensures the ticket is processed correctly every time and prevents damage to the machine.

Perforation Precision: The ticket must be easy to tear without jamming the machine. Precise perforation prevents issues like paper jams, which can delay gameplay or cause frustration for players and staff.

What to consider when sourcing for slot machine TITO tickets?

• Paper Material
• Print Image quality
• Barcode Scan-ability
• Trouble Free, Smooth Ticket Dispensing
• Lead time
• Cost

Paper Material Options

• Premium Grade
• Standard Grade
• Economical Grade

1. OEM – IGT APPROVED PAPER
2. NON- OEM APPROVED PAPER

Whichever paper grade you opt for, whether it’s premium, standard or economical you opt to source for, very much depends on

• individual casino’s priorities & compliances
• individual casino’s requirements and expectations

Whichever paper material option you choose for your TITO tickets, ideally it needs to meet both your cost and quality expectations. While a non-OEM approved paper may reduce your costs and improve your profit, it should never be overly compromising on the TITO ticket quality requirements. A sub-standard, poor quality paper could result in one or all of the following issues

• TITO tickets jamming on the machine requiring technician assistance
• Machine unable to dispense TITO tickets, with intermittent stoppages during dispensing
• Multiple TITO tickets being pulled out in one instance
• Missing or faded print out on TITO tickets– unable to read the text printout on the ticket when presented for cash reimbursement
