Abstract
In accordance with a method and system for facilitating redemption of monetary value gaming tickets, such as issued by a gaming device upon cash-out, a ticket is presented to a redemption kiosk. If the ticket is validated or approved for payment and has a monetary value which includes a fractional currency value, then the player is offered the opportunity to place a wager which includes the fractional currency value in order to play a wagering game. If the player elects to play the game, the game is presented. If the outcome of the game is losing, then the player is paid a first whole currency value comprising the monetary value less the wager via currency dispensed from the kiosk and when an outcome of the wagering game is winning, then the player is paid a second whole currency value which is greater than the monetary value (such as by including a winning amount) via currency dispensed from said currency dispensing device.
