That said, a few months ago I saw a reference in one of the Bellagio's quarterly promo offer mags that they were close to instituting some new patent- or gaming commission approval-pending technology/capability that would allow players to self-service their jackpots in the Hi Limit area. Don't recall that it gave a lot of (or maybe any) details but it certainly sounded like something I haven't seen before.

The first time I played at Aria (Feb 2010), they already had "quick pay" set up. It's pretty awesome. After you set up a session and have them enable quick pay, any time you hit a taxable, a window slides out on the screen and you just enter your PIN and confirm the amount of the taxable. It sends the info to the system, unlocks the machine, and leaves the credits on the machine. From lock-up to reset, it only takes about 20 seconds. You can't do it if the jackpot is six-figures though. They want to handle those manually.
