This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046754 titled 'GAMING SYSTEM, DEVICE, AND METHOD TO TRACK ELECTRONIC TICKETS AND VALUES THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system that can receive information about electronic tickets issued by a gaming device. This information includes the identifier of the gaming device, the time of issuance, and the value of the ticket. The system can track the status of the ticket and determine when it transitions from an issued state to a redeemable state. It can also detect when the ticket is presented for redemption and change the ticket value accordingly.

Original Abstract Submitted

a system can be capable of receiving electronic ticket issuance information from a first gaming device, where the electronic ticket issuance information includes an identifier of the first gaming device that issued an electronic ticket, a time that the electronic ticket was issued, and an electronic ticket value associated with an issued state of the electronic ticket. the system may further be capable of tracking a status of the electronic ticket to determine that the electronic ticket has transitioned from the issued state to a redeemable state, determining that the electronic ticket has been presented for redemption and, in response thereto, causing the electronic ticket value to change to a second electronic ticket value associated with a redeemed state of the electronic ticket.
