Abstract

A method is taught to determine revenues of gaming devices using virtual tickets. A population of virtual tickets is generated at a data recording station, each virtual ticket identifying an outcome of a single play of a game. The virtual tickets are distributed to gaming devices, where one virtual ticket is consumed for each play. The play status information is recorded in association with the population as the virtual tickets are consumed. The play status information is then evaluated to determine the revenues of the gaming devices and an output representing these revenues is generated.
