Multiple monetary type gaming machine with cash conversion functionality

A method for a multiple-currency-enabled gaming machine, the method comprising:

• receiving, at the gaming machine, a first currency value of a non-native currency type, the non-native currency type convertible into a native currency type and the native currency type being a type of currency used by the gaming machine for play of a wager-based game;
• retrieving, from a memory of the gaming machine, a first left-over amount that is a residual currency value of the non-native currency type from a previous currency conversion transaction that was not converted into the native currency type and that was not returned by the gaming machine;
• determining, by one or more logic modules of the gaming machine, a total non-native currency value, the total non-native currency value including the first currency value and the first left-over amount;
• converting, by one or more logic modules of the am min machine, the total non-native currency value from the non-native currency type into the native currency type, thereby resulting in a total native currency value of the native currency type of the gaming machine for use in playing the wager-based game, the total native currency value being an amount of the total non-native currency value that was capable of being converted into the native currency type;
• determining, by one or more logic modules of the gaming machine, whether there is an unconverted amount, the unconverted amount being an amount of the total non-native currency value that is not converted into the native currency type;
• determining, by one or more logic modules of the gaming machine, a returnable amount and a second left-over amount based on the unconverted amount, the second left-over amount being an amount of the non-native currency type that was not converted into the native currency type and that is not returned by the gaming machine;
• and
• providing, at an output device of the gaming machine, the returnable amount.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon for controlling a gaming machine to:

• receive a first currency value of a non-native currency type, the non-native currency type convertible into a native currency type and the native currency type being a type of currency used by the gaming machine for play of a wager-based game;
• retrieve a first left-over amount that is a residual currency value of the non-native currency type from a previous currency conversion transaction that was not converted into the native currency type and that was not returned by the gaming machine;
• determine a total non-native currency value, the total non-native currency value including the first currency value and the first left-over amount;
• convert the total non-native currency value from the non-native currency type into the native currency type, thereby resulting in a total native currency value, of the native currency type of the gaming machine to use to play the wager-based game, the total native currency value being an amount of the total non-native currency value that was capable of being converted into the native currency type;
• determine whether there is an unconverted amount, the unconverted amount being an amount of the total non-native currency value that is not converted into the native currency type;
• determine a returnable amount and a second left-over amount based on the unconverted amount, the second left-over amount being an amount of the non-native currency type that was not converted into the native currency type and that is not returned by the gaming machine;
• and
• provide, at an output device of the gaming machine, the returnable amount.
