A gaming system and method for enabling financial transactions in a gaming environment are described. The gaming system includes an electronic funds transfer (EFT) terminal, a gateway and a financial network. The gateway retrieves transaction information related to a fund transfer request.

An approval message is transmitted from the gateway to the EFT terminal for compliant transactions that are approved by the financial network(s) and comply with a configurable gaming limit.

Enabling financial transactions for electronic gaming machines

A gaming system and method for enabling financial transactions in a gaming environment are described. The gaming system includes an electronic funds transfer (EFT) terminal, a gateway, a financial network, and a Slot Accounting System (SAS). The gateway retrieves transaction information related to a fund transfer request. The gateway can then independently determine that the fund transfer request complies with the applicable gaming limits and gaming rules. Compliant transactions that are approved by the financial network(s) are submitted to the SAS by the gateway for generation of a corresponding voucher validation code.

A client device, a system and a method for enabling financial transactions for an electronic gaming machine is described. The client device includes an electronic gaming machine processor, a printer, a printer sharing module and a controller. The printer sharing module is electrically coupled to the printer and the electronic gaming machine processor. The controller is electrically coupled to the printer sharing module. The controller reroutes the communications between the electronic gaming machine processor and the printer and allows the controller to communicate with the printer so that the controller instructs the printer to print a voucher. The system also includes a wireless communications module that enables communications with at least one other wireless communication module over short distances using point to point or broadcast packets that allow for bi-directional data transmission between each client device located on a casino gaming floor.
