ABSTRACT:
A method for cashless and tokenless access to casino machines is provided including the steps of providing a biometric registration apparatus connected to a computer having an input for a user to input a biometric sample and a payment input. The player registers including the steps of inputting a biometric sample into the biometric input and inputting money. The money is input into a unique player's account in the central computer associated with the biometric sample of the player. The player is identified at a gaming machine by the entering of a biometric sample and comparing it to the unique biometric data stored in the central computer. The player is then authorized to play and his account is credited or debited based on the player's wins and losses. The player is then paid any money remaining in his account after the player no longer desires to play by entering a biometric sample to access his account.
