An interactive map visualizes US hot springs overlaid on geothermal heat flow data, showing how springs concentrate in the western US where thin, faulted crust allows hot rock closer to the surface.

Ticket-in, ticket-out (TITO) is a casino gaming technology that prints barcoded tickets instead of dispensing coins, allowing players to redeem them for cash at kiosks. Developed through a consortium led by MGT with manufacturers like IGT and Bally Gaming, the system was first successfully trialed at the Fiesta Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in 2000 and approved by Nevada regulators. TITO reduces cash handling, eliminates hopper fills, and enables multi-denomination machines, though it has drawbacks including ticket loss and potential money laundering concerns.
