Illinois Gaming Board Approves TITO Functionality
The Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) made a significant move toward modernizing the state’s video gaming industry by approving Ticket In – Ticket Out (TITO) functionality for video gaming terminals (VGTs). This decision, made on December 24, 2024, positions Illinois as the latest state to adopt the popular cashless gaming technology, enhancing the player experience and efficiency of operations.
What Is TITO?
TITO is a system that allows players to insert existing vouchers into VGTs to place wagers. This means that when a player is finished at one VGT, they can transfer their voucher to another without having to cash in the slip first.
Key Benefits of TITO for Illinois
- Cashless Transactions: This is a major step towards cashless gaming, helping to reduce the handling of physical money.
- VGT Compatibility: Tickets from one VGT can be used at another, allowing for a more fluid gaming experience. Players will no longer be limited by the need to carry paper currency between terminals, leading to faster transitions between games.
- Modernization of Illinois’ Video Gaming Industry: This change reflects the IGB’s ongoing efforts to modernize the state’s gaming industry. TITO is just one example of technological advancements being introduced to keep Illinois at the forefront of gaming innovation.
- Boosting the Player Experience: With the introduction of TITO, players can enjoy a more convenient and user-friendly gaming experience. They’ll be able to focus on the game itself without worrying about cash transactions.
TITO functionality is currently set to go live this Summer, marking a key milestone in the ongoing evolution of Illinois’ video gaming market.
