Question: Loading of high credits on machines

#1

Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer in the archives.

On a recent trip to LV, staying at Cosmo, I wandered through the high limit room, to find that it was REALLY high limits, so I didn't stick around. But I observed a person playing the $10 5 play VP, and noticed that he had over $48K in credits on the machine. In the 3-4 minutes it took for me to pass through, that value had dropped to $35K (ouch).

I'm trying to understand how such a high value can be loaded on to the machine. I can't imagine that he stuffed that many bills, and have never seen a machine loaded in any other manner. Trying to imagine possible scenarios: paying at the cage, and having a slot attendant program it in? Winning a jackpot, and having it paid as machine credits, instead of cash/check? Making cashout tickets to use for this purpose would have still required the loading of the bills at some previous point, so I don't see the advantage of that.

If someone knows how this could be done, I'd really appreciate an education!

I can attest to the fact that many casinos will allow patrons to take markers in the form of slot machine vouchers. I imagine that they would also permit a patron to buy a high denom voucher as well for the sake of expedience.

I know that Caesars LV will give you slot tickets. I once took out a marker for 10K and the guy at the cashier cage asked me if I wanted it

in cash, chips or slot tickets. I requested slot tickets and he asked what denomination I wanted, all 10K in one ticket or several smaller ones.
