I was doing some cleaning and found this.I totally forgot I had this.
Will this work on the newer(S2000,I+)machines?Could you actually validate tickets with it?

I would bet a million dollars that the proprietary protocols are not alike.
In other words - they wouldn't speak the same language?

That looks like one that the first ticket out systems used.. the polly roger like games..

Jim from Blueridge knew what it was..

"That IGT thing is what they used in Lottery and other type places, I had a customer in WV  with a whole shelf of them, they use a modem and that is the controller, IGT had a high dollar software system called Route Operator Ticket System  or TITO they leased"

I remember going to the WV casinos year ago and they had those things behind the cashiers windows and would use those to validate the tickets.

So, if I send you my year-old lottery ticket will you run it through your controller and see if I won? :128-  :200- :208- :208- :208-

Dont think my validator would work on that. :60- :96-

This thing wouldnt validate actual lottery tickets,it would validate the tickets you had after you cashed out on a casino poker/video machine.You couldnt put the ticket back in the machine either,had to take it to a cashier.The cashier would type the numbers from your winning ticket in the device I have.Then it would print a receipt that they would staple to the ticket as proof it was paid.They would give you your winning then.

It sounds ugly.  :60- :52- 

So as one was playing one had to pull more and more bills out of one's wallet each time he or she changed machines, only to end up standing in line to get to a cashier that would go through this PITA process for every two dollar "leftover" ticket in one's stack...  unless the player just resigned himself to losing everything that he put into each machine to avoid the time and bother of getting back a few bucks. Gee, I make it sound like a scam, don't I? Silly me. :129- :129-  :47-

You could always put it in your game room and supply it with power, just to have a cool looking gadget. :89-

Stat...thats exactly how it worked.It was probably a good 15 years ago that they used that system and it did suck!
You would huge lines at the cashiers windows with players cashing their stacks of 1-2 dollar tickets.
Felt bad for the cashiers too,they had to type every number from every ticket in,no bar codes.
