Abstract
A method and gaming machine/system designed or configured to provide security to cashless gaming system instruments, such as EZ PAY tickets, by placing authentication information data on the ticket. Player authentication data is acquired via an interface provided by a gaming machine and the data is then placed on a cashless instrument so that it may later be read and authenticated. Such instruments could then only be negotiated by the person identified by the player authentication data placed on the instrument.
