  • Publication number: 20230186722
    Abstract: A system for the detection of money laundering activities involving casino slot machines and Video Lottery Terminals (collectively “VLTs/Slot Machines”) using an executable copy of security software installed individually at each participating VLT/Slot Machine. The security software monitors cash in/plays/and cash out on all connected VLTs/Slot Machines. The security software contains an artificial intelligence module that flags “suspicious activity” at all connected VLTs/Slot Machines and keeps an audit trail. The security software will disable/track TITO serial numbers/barcodes of all TITOs printed from VLTs in “silent alarm mode”. TITO serial numbers/barcodes printed in “alarm mode” need to be redeemed at the cashier's cage and will not work in an automated redemption kiosk or Ticket Redemption Unit, and the cashiers are forewarned to require positive identification and complete a Suspicious Activity Report (SARC).
