\"\"Slot machines are commonly associated with coin-operated games. The reason why is because most slots used to operate through coins. But chances are high these days that all you’ll find is a TITO slot machine in casinos.<\/p>\n

What does TITO mean in the slots world? Find out as we discuss the definition along with why these machines are much more efficient than the coin-based versions.<\/p>\n

Modern Slot Machines Operate on Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around the mid-1990s, many casinos began experimenting with tickets-based slot machines.<\/p>\n

These games are called Ticket-In, Ticket-Out because they accept tickets and also spit them out. The term Ticket-In, Ticket-Out was eventually shortened to TITO.<\/p>\n

How do You Use a TITO Slot Machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"You start using these games by inserting money into the bill acceptor. This earns you credits that can be used to play the slot machine.<\/p>\n

When you’re finished playing a TITO slot machine, you cash your money out and receive a ticket. You can then either insert this it into another machine, or simply take it to the cashier’s window and get your money.<\/p>\n

What’s the Advantage of a TITO Slot Machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both casinos and players benefit from the TITO system.<\/p>\n

Casinos benefit because they don’t have as many employees working the slots section. The reason why is because there’s no longer any need to fill the coin hopper constantly.<\/p>\n

Instead, all the employees have to do is replace tickets in machines from time to time. And this isn’t required nearly as often as filling the coin hopper.<\/p>\n

Players no longer have to lug around cups filled with quarters. Instead, they have handy pieces of paper that they can either insert into machines for use or cash out.<\/p>\n

Based on the convenience advantages that it offers, the TITO slot machine is here to stay in casinos. Meanwhile, coin-based slots have become relics of the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
