A biological sensor such as a camera may obtain biological data describing a human patron. A currency acceptor and dispenser may accept money. The computing device may obtain biological data describing the patron. The computing device may verify the identity of the patron and acceptability of the patron for gaming based at least in part on the digital form of the patron's identification and the biological data.

Then, a determination is made whether any of the steps has been performed. In response to a determination that any of the steps has been performed, graphically representing on the flow chart that the step has been performed. The graphical representation can be color-coding of the step. The determination that a step has been performed can be made based on user input that the step has been performed, or automatically by a program checking a record indicating that the step has been performed. Also, a program can automatically determine that a deadline for performing one of the steps has passed without performance of the one step. In response, the program initiates a graphical representation on the one step in the flowchart that the deadline has passed without performance of the one step.
