Abstract: Based on receipt of a validation request by a transceiver from a mobile device, a determination that a mobile device is authorized to provide remote input to a gaming device is made. A signal strength threshold for the transceiver is modified from a first signal strength threshold associated with a first distance between the transceiver and the mobile device to a second signal strength threshold associated with a second larger distance between the transceiver and the mobile device, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance. Based on receipt of a remote connection request from the mobile device, a determination whether the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold is made. In response to determining that the remote connection request meets the second signal strength threshold, the mobile device is allowed to provide remote input instructions to the gaming device.
