A system and method for wireless validation of gaming vouchers output from electronic gaming machines includes a centralized computer which receives and stores game transaction information, including records of printed vouchers and pay-out amounts. To cash-out a voucher, the voucher information is entered into a wireless, portable computer device, and relayed to a remote wireless interface connected to the centralized computer. A verification program verifies that the voucher is valid and not paid out. It then updates the voucher record to indicate that the voucher has been paid and transmits the pay-out amount to the wireless, portable computer device, where it is displayed. If a voucher is not valid or already paid out, a denial message is transmitted to the wireless, portable computer device. The system may include a primary network and a secondary network with redundant, cross-referenced voucher databases.
