Similarly, IGT, a slot machine manufacturer whose machines dominate the industry, says it is embedding the EZ Pay Ticket System, its coin less technology, in nearly two-thirds of its new slots. All told, about 130,000 of the 700,000 slots in North America now are coin less. Some casinos will have different slot machines from different slot machine manufacturers in their casino. You may find that the tickets from one slot machine manufacturers slots will not work in anothers slot machine. In this case you will have to cash your ticket in at the cashiers cage.

By reducing the amount of labour it takes to fill up hoppers, clean out jams, escort bags of coins to the counting rooms and feed players' winnings into counters, the casinos get higher slot machine uptime and hefty savings. "Tickets are counted down to the penny," while with coin slots, "you could never determine how many coins were on the floor.... With this new system, which is all computerized, you know exactly what's happening in real time." This has been a significant improevement introduced by the slot machine manufacturers and most patrons prefer the new approach.
