Voucher-enabled player terminals having games of chance thereon,
for use in a gaming system having a network connection and a central server, are
disclosed. The terminals can both read and print vouchers, and are active in processing
the vouchers. One specific functional aspect of the terminals is that they are
enabled to generate unique transaction identifiers that are used with a value (game
credits or prize redemption values) to enable printing of voucher when cash-out
occurs. Upon cash-out from a player terminal (or other terminal type), a player
will be issued a new voucher having a transaction ID generated by the terminal,
the transaction ID being unique to the particular system installation and associated
with the value of the voucher, which the player may then take to a different terminal
to continue game play.
