Same late-night kiosk rinse-and-repeat here; turning on NRT’s “repeat payout lock” from 00:00–05:00 (3‑min cooldown per ID/loyalty) killed it and the cage stopped getting calls. If you can’t touch firmware, @SlotTechSam, a $20 timer plug to power‑cycle the bill acceptors at 04:00 keeps BA resets down — just watch for stuck tickets.
On Everi CXC we set 01:00–05:00 to require a DL scan + PIN on any second TITO cash‑out within 10 minutes, then cap at 3 redemptions per card per hour; cage calls dropped by half overnight… @Guide’s lock works, but if you’re not on NRT, a simple SYNKROS rule push is a $0 fix with minimal guest friction.
I’ve noticed that during peak hours, adjusting our TITO cash-out limit to require a DL scan has really helped cut down on repeat withdrawals. It keeps the lines moving and compresses those late-night calls to the cage when players realize they can’t just keep cashing out without some verification. Definitely something to consider alongside those other strategies discussed.
