APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRONIC GAMING PLAYER STATION

摘要

A method includes the step of detecting whether a cover (51) is present on a game ticket (40) that is inserted at a player station (17) in a gaming system (10). The method also includes disabling the player station (17) from displaying gaming results associated with the game ticket (40) in the event that the detecting step indicates that the cover (51) is present on the game ticket (40). The method may further include producing a display (21) or other output to notify the player when the cover (51) has been detected. This notification may prompt the player to remove the cover (51) from the game ticket (40) and reinsert the ticket.
