ABSTRACT:
The apparatus and method described herein transmits a unique machine identification number and a sequence number from a local host to a casino game via a network. In the event that the local host is unable to provide the sequence number, the casino game generates the sequence number locally. Subsequently, the casino game performs a series of numerical operations starting with the machine identification number and the sequence number to generate an encoded a voucher number. The voucher is then printed for the patron and the number is reported to the local host.
