Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to a system that utilizes a primary or central gaming establishment account to accumulate funds from one or more secondary or peripheral gaming establishment accounts and escrow such funds prior to use.

Claims (28)

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:

determine if an automatic transfer event occurs in association with a first gaming establishment account, and

responsive to the automatic transfer event occurring in association with the first gaming establishment account, communicate data that results in an automatic transfer of an amount of funds from a balance of the first gaming establishment account to a balance of a separately maintained second gaming establishment account.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory device stores a plurality of further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine if the automatic transfer event occurs at designated intervals.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory device stores a plurality of further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine if the automatic transfer event occurs in association with a request of funds to be withdrawn from the balance of the second gaming establishment account.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the automatic transfer event occurs based on an inactivity condition being satisfied with the first gaming establishment account.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the amount of funds comprises an entire balance of the first gaming establishment account.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the automatic transfer event occurs based on the balance of the first gaming establishment account exceeding a threshold maximum balance.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the amount of funds comprises an amount of the first gaming establishment account which exceeds the threshold maximum balance.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first gaming establishment account comprises a retail account and the second gaming establishment account comprises a cashless wagering account.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first gaming establishment account comprises a first retail account and the second gaming establishment account comprises a second retail account.

10. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor responsive to a fund request made when an amount of funds associated with a gaming establishment account is less than a requested amount of funds and when an amount of funds from a gaming establishment line of credit is at least equal to the requested amount of funds, cause the processor to communicate, independent of any input received via an input device requesting a fund transfer, data that results in the requested amount of funds being automatically transferred from the gaming establishment line of credit to the gaming establishment account.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the gaming establishment account comprises a cashless wagering account.

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

determining, by a processor, if an automatic transfer event occurs in association with a first gaming establishment account, and

responsive to the automatic transfer event occurring in association with the first gaming establishment account, communicating data that results in an automatic transfer of an amount of funds from a balance of the first gaming establishment account to a balance of a separately maintained second gaming establishment account.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising determining, by the processor, if the automatic transfer event occurs at designated intervals.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising determining, by the processor, if the automatic transfer event occurs in association with a request of funds to be withdrawn from the balance of the second gaming establishment account.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the automatic transfer event occurs based on an inactivity condition being satisfied with the first gaming establishment account.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the amount of funds comprises an entire balance of the first gaming establishment account.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the automatic transfer event occurs based on the balance of the first gaming establishment account exceeding a threshold maximum balance.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the amount of funds comprises an amount of the first gaming establishment account which exceeds the threshold maximum balance.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first gaming establishment account comprises a retail account and the second gaming establishment account comprises a cashless wagering account.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first gaming establishment account comprises a first retail account and the second gaming establishment account comprises a second retail account.
