When an uncarded player first plays a slot machine and proceeds to cash out, inserts the latest ticket into another machine, plays, cashes out, inserts the latest ticket into yet another machine, plays, cashes out, etc., the entire chain of play can be automatically tracked. When the player redeems the ticket at a ticket redemption machine, the player can be presented with a message as to how many comp points the player would have earned had the player had and used a comp card. The player can also be presented with a voucher to be awarded the comp points if the player signs up for the casino's players (or slot) club.
