Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to gaming systems and methods for facilitating an automatic transfer of funds to and from an electronic gaming machine via a mobile device.

Claims (30)

1 . A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive data associated with an amount of funds to be automatically transferred from a credit balance of a first electronic gaming machine to a holding account maintained independent of each of the first electronic gaming machine, a second electronic gaming machine and a mobile device, wherein the receipt of the data occurs responsive to an interruption event occurring in association with the first electronic gaming machine, the interruption event occurs independent of any inputs received via any input device of the first electronic gaming machine to cause a modification of the credit balance of the first electronic gaming machine, and the received data is associated with an identifier which is determined prior to the occurrence of the interruption event and associated with the data after the occurrence of the interruption event, and

following the occurrence of the interruption event and following the identifier being subsequently associated with the second electronic gaming machine and independent of any inputs received to cause a transfer of the amount of funds from the holding account to a credit balance of the second electronic gaming machine, automatically transfer the amount of funds from the holding account to the credit balance of the second electronic gaming machine.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a detection of a weakened signal from the mobile device following an association of the mobile device with the first electronic gaming machine.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic gaming machine and the second electronic gaming machine are different electronic gaming machines.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a period of inactivity at the first electronic gaming machine.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to an attempted login at the first electronic gaming machine by a user different from a user currently logged into the first electronic gaming machine.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a mobile device failure condition being satisfied in association with the mobile device following an association of the mobile device with the first electronic gaming machine.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the identifier comprises at least one of a mobile device identifier, a user identifier, and a gaming establishment account identifier.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises a processor of a component of a gaming establishment fund management system.

9 . A device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

responsive to an interruption event occurring at an electronic gaming machine and independent of any inputs received to cause a transfer of an amount of funds from a balance of the electronic gaming machine to an account, communicate data to the electronic gaming machine that results in an automatic transfer of the amount of funds from the balance of the electronic gaming machine to the account, wherein the interruption event occurs independent of any input made via any input device of the electronic gaming machine to cause the modification of the balance of the electronic gaming machine, the interruption event occurs independent of any input made via a mobile device to cause the modification of the balance of the electronic gaming machine, and the account is maintained independent of each of the electronic gaming machine and the mobile device, and

following an association, in a virtual ticket voucher database, of the amount of funds in the account with a virtual ticket voucher, cause a communication of data to the mobile device that results in the mobile device displaying the virtual ticket voucher associated with the amount of funds.

10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to at least one of: a detection of a weakened signal from the mobile device, and a mobile device failure condition being satisfied.

11 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a period of inactivity at the electronic gaming machine.

12 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor comprises a processor of a component of a gaming establishment fund management system.

13 . A method of operating a system, the method comprising:

receiving data associated with an amount of funds to be automatically transferred from a credit balance of a first electronic gaming machine to a holding account maintained independent of each of the first electronic gaming machine, a second electronic gaming machine and a mobile device, wherein the receipt of the data occurs responsive to an interruption event occurring in association with the first electronic gaming machine, the interruption event occurs independent of any inputs received via any input device of the first electronic gaming machine to cause a modification of the credit balance of the first electronic gaming machine, and the received data is associated with an identifier which is determined prior to the occurrence of the interruption event and associated with the data after the occurrence of the interruption event, and

following the occurrence of the interruption event and following the identifier being subsequently associated with the second electronic gaming machine, automatically transferring, by a processor and independent of any inputs received to cause a transfer of the amount of funds from the holding account to a credit balance of the second electronic gaming machine, the amount of funds from the holding account to the credit balance of the second electronic gaming machine.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a detection of a weakened signal from the mobile device following an association of the mobile device with the first electronic gaming machine.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the first electronic gaming machine and the second electronic gaming machine are different electronic gaming machines.

16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a period of inactivity at the first electronic gaming machine.

17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to an attempted login at the first electronic gaming machine by a user different from a user currently logged into the first electronic gaming machine.

18 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the interruption event occurs responsive to a mobile device failure condition being satisfied in association with the mobile device following an association of the mobile device with the first electronic gaming machine.

19 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the identifier comprises at least one of a mobile device identifier, a user identifier, and a gaming establishment account identifier.

20 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the system comprises a gaming establishment fund management system.
