Electronic Voucher Ticket System

摘要

A clearinghouse system for use is transferring a value of a first voucher ticket issued by and associated with a first gaming facility to a second voucher ticket associated with a second gaming facility. The voucher ticket can be provided on paper or in electronic or digital format. The clearing house can deduct a fee for the conversion. The voucher ticket can include a coded machine readable image representing either a serial number or a financial value. The coded machine readable image can be encoded using an encoding scheme that is proprietary to the voucher ticket issuing party. The clearinghouse is in communication with each ticket voucher database of each respective gaming facility to appropriately revise the database with any impact from the transaction transferring the value from one voucher ticket to a second voucher ticket.
