  • After minimal or no actual betting, criminals convert inserted cash into TITO tickets, making it appear as legitimate winnings.
  • These tickets are transferable among accomplices or consolidated to mask the true source of funds, scattering or regrouping the original amounts.
  • Once redeemed, the proceeds appear to financial institutions as ordinary casino payouts, further obscuring their illicit origin.
  • Criminals insert counterfeit bills into slot machines to obtain TITO tickets (vouchers for slot machine credit).
  • These tickets are then redeemed for genuine cash at the casino cashier or kiosks.
  • If automated currency validators fail to detect forgeries, fraudulent notes enter the system undetected, converting fake bills into legitimate payouts.
  • Criminals insert illicit cash into slot machines and receive tickets storing equivalent value.
  • Redeeming these tickets is recorded only as gaming proceeds, making the deposited funds appear legitimate.
  • This mechanism allows rapid layering, limiting direct scrutiny on large, suspicious cash buy-ins.
  • Criminals insert small-denomination bills into slot machines, generating larger payout vouchers (TITO tickets) with little or no actual gameplay.
  • They redeem these tickets for higher-denomination payouts, falsely presenting illicit funds as genuine casino winnings.
  • In some cases, launderers purchase or forge winning TITO tickets from others, further obscuring the true origin of the funds.
