A gaming monetary instrument tracking system is configured to track sources for the monetary value of a monetary instrument across multiple previous gaming transactions. The system can include a plurality of system nodes in communication with a system server. The system nodes can be electronic gaming devices, which can generate data with respect to gaming monetary instruments that each have a monetary value, and some of the system nodes can also issue new gaming monetary instruments. The system server can receive data generated by the system nodes and create data structures that link multiple gaming monetary instruments with each other according to multiple different transactions regarding the instruments at different times and across multiple different nodes. A historical record for each instrument can provide data regarding related previous transactions and instruments.
