Abstract
Various technology for operating an electronic gaming machine (EGM) is disclosed. The EGM may comprise (a) a communication module; (b) a virtual ticket interface converter module; (c) an input device; (d) a payment device; (e) a payout device; (f) a memory device; and (g) a processor executing instructions stored in the memory device. The processor, when executing the instructions stored in the memory device, may intercept communications between the input device, the payment device and the payout device using the virtual ticket interface converter module such that financial transactions between a player and the EGM are routed through a virtual mobile wallet account notwithstanding the virtual ticket interface converter module authenticates the financial transactions with the EGM as if the financial transactions were physically performed using the payment device and the payout device.
