Abstract: An apparatus for collecting and processing payout vouchers from video slot machines, in which one or more cashier stations are networked to a cage server, which in turn communicates with a vault processor and a slot accounting processor. Software layers provide for tracking point of transaction payout information, accumulating and reporting drop figures from the cashier stations, and pulling data from the vault and cages, auditing the vouchers, reconciling the data, updating files and providing management with reports.
