Abstract

A gaming machine for conducting a wagering game controlled by a processor dispenses, receives, and interacts with collectible portable tracking devices, or tokens. The gaming machine includes a token dispenser, a token receiver and an interface. Each token is equipped with a computer readable storage medium adapted to either directly store game play information or store a player identifier which can be used to retrieve game play information from the game machine. The interface of the gaming machine facilitates communication between the computer readable storage medium and the processor. The token has a theme associated with the theme of the gaming machine. The token also includes a receiver and an information indicator for receiving and communicating gameplay or casino information to the player.
