What is the term for a slip of paper with a barcode indicating the amount of money represented?

• A. ticket-in/ticket-out (TITO)
• B. tilt switch
• C. topper
• D. voucher

Answer: (A)

Ticket-In/Ticket-Out (TITO) is the system used when a slot machine prints a slip with a barcode that represents a monetary value. The idea is simple: the machine converts credits into a portable ticket, and the barcode encodes the amount so another machine or a cashier can read it and credit the corresponding value back to the player. This lets you move money between machines without handling coins or cash.

The other options don’t fit as well. A tilt switch is a sensor that detects if a machine is tilted, not a money slip. A topper is not the standard term for this functionality. A voucher is a general term for a value-bearing slip, but in the specific context of slot machines and inter-machine transfers, the precise term for the printed, scannable slip is TITO.
