Abstract
Provided are methods for gaming drop box management. Methods include receiving, from an electronic gaming machine (EGM), drop box initiator data that corresponds to a drop box initiator ticket that is received by the EGM, automatically identifying the drop box initiator ticket as a first transaction item in a drop box session that begins responsive to a drop box being installed in the EGM and that ends corresponding to the drop box being removed from the EGM, and receiving, from the EGM, drop box session transaction data that occurs after the drop box initiator ticket is received by the EGM during the drop box session. Methods further include automatically associating the drop box with the EGM for the time period corresponding to the drop box session.
