ABSTRACT:
A gaming machine for dispensing game tickets imprinted with a message indicating whether the player has won or lost. A ticket supply, such as a continuous roll of tickets, is installed in the machine. The ticket includes a ticket identifier in the form of a machine-readable identifier encoded onto each physical ticket. The ticket identifier corresponds to a stored record which includes a combination of indicia. The ticket is dispensed and its indicia data, as obtained from a memory module, are displayed on a screen. Winning combinations of indicia are detected electronically and used activating a winner light on the machine. Because the indicia are neither printed nor encoded onto the exterior of the ticket, the locations of winning tickets cannot be determined in advance of ticket purchase.
