System and method for modifying gaming establishment mobile device application
The present disclosure relates generally to a system that enables a mobile device running a mobile device application to communicate with different gaming establishment components and modify the mobile device application functionality and/or the mobile device application appearance based on different data received from different gaming establishment components.
1. A gaming establishment component comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
wirelessly broadcast mobile device application configuration data, wherein when wirelessly received by a mobile device and responsive to an occurrence, based on the received mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of a mobile device application of the mobile device, of a mobile device application reconfiguration event, the configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device is modified based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data, and
wirelessly receive data associated with a requested action, wherein the data is wirelessly communicated from the mobile device responsive to the mobile device receiving an input associated with the requested action following the mobile device application of the mobile device displaying the modified configuration which is based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data.
2. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device application configuration data comprises data associated with an appearance of the mobile device application.
3. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device application configuration data comprises data associated with an available function of the mobile device application.
4. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on a location within a gaming establishment of the gaming establishment component.
5. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an identity of a gaming establishment.
6. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a processor of an electronic gaming machine and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an attribute of the electronic gaming machine.
7. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a processor of a gaming terminal associated with a gaming table and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an attribute of the gaming table.
8. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a processor of a kiosk of a gaming establishment sports book and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an attribute of the gaming establishment sports book.
9. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a processor of a point-of-sale terminal associated with a gaming establishment retail location and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on the gaming establishment retail location.
10. The gaming establishment component of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to wirelessly broadcast mobile device application connection data.
11. A gaming establishment component comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
wirelessly broadcast mobile device application configuration data, wherein when wirelessly received by a mobile device and responsive to an occurrence, based on the received mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of a mobile device application of the mobile device, of a mobile device application reconfiguration event, at least one of an appearance of the mobile device application and a function of the mobile device application is modified based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data, and
wirelessly receive data associated with a requested action, wherein the data is wirelessly communicated from the mobile device responsive to the mobile device receiving an input associated with the requested action following the mobile device application of the mobile device displaying at least one of the modified appearance of the mobile device application and an availability of the modified function of the mobile device application.
12. A method of operating a gaming establishment component, the method comprising:
wirelessly broadcasting mobile device application configuration data, wherein when wirelessly received by a mobile device and responsive to an occurrence, based on the received mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of a mobile device application of the mobile device, of a mobile device application reconfiguration event, the configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device is modified based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data, and
wirelessly receiving data associated with a requested action, wherein the data is wirelessly communicated from the mobile device responsive to the mobile device receiving an input associated with the requested action following the mobile device application of the mobile device displaying the modified configuration which is based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the mobile device application configuration data comprises data associated with an appearance of the mobile device application.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the mobile device application configuration data comprises data associated with an available function of the mobile device application.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on a location within a gaming establishment of the gaming establishment component.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an identity of a gaming establishment.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the gaming establishment component comprises an electronic gaming machine and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an attribute of the electronic gaming machine.
18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the gaming establishment component comprises a gaming terminal associated with a gaming table and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an attribute of the gaming table.
19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the gaming establishment component comprises a kiosk of a gaming establishment sports book and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on an attribute of the gaming establishment sports book.
20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the gaming establishment component comprises a point-of-sale terminal associated with a gaming establishment retail location and the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data is based on the gaming establishment retail location.
21. The method of claim 12 , further comprising wirelessly broadcasting mobile device application connection data.
