When playing in a Chicago-area casino and you for example, choose to play nickel machine with a 20-dollar bill, which will give you 400 credits and you manage to up your bankroll up to 40 dollars or 800 credits. This will leave you with 2 choices, you can either choose to stay at your current machine or press the cash-out button that will release 800 nickels into tray, which will leave you to collect the coins, and then go to the cashier to have them counted.
Now if you were playing on an EZ Pay system machine and you hit the cash-out button, this will lead you to use modern touch-screen technology to simply print a bar-coded ticket to the amount of forty dollars. You could then either choose to insert the bar-coded ticket in the bill validator of another machine, and start playing again, or save the ticket to hand in at the cashier at a later time.
The EZPay technology eliminates having to lug around buckets of coins and then having to wait in line at the cashier for them to be counted. Many people also prefer not having to handle dirty coins or being tied to a slot machine while waiting for a hand pay or a hopper fill. |
