Patent number: 11972658Abstract: An electronic gaming system is configured to provide a wagering session on an electronic gaming machine based upon one or more communications received from a mobile device of a player, where the communications indicate a signal strength of a wireless beacon relative to the mobile device. For example, the mobile device may provide a first communication indicating that the mobile device is within a first distance of the electronic gaming machine. In response, the wagering session may be provided or initiated. Likewise, during gameplay, the mobile device may provide a second communication indicating that the mobile device has moved to within a second distance of the electronic gaming machine. In response, the wagering session may be continued or terminated, depending upon, for example, a comparison of the second distance to a threshold second distance.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty LimitedInventors: Andrew Wyllie, Alan Wong

Patent number: 11967202Abstract: An electronic gaming system is described. The electronic gaming system includes a management server including a processor and a memory device storing computer-readable instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive player identification data and game data. The instructions also cause the processor to request and receive, based upon the player identification data and from a player tracking server, player data associated with the player account, cause display, on a host device associated with a casino host, of at least a portion of the player data and the game data, and determine that the EGM should be disabled for a predetermined amount of time. The instructions further cause the processor to cause display of a message indicating that the EGM will be disabled and disable the EGM for the predetermined amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Cleveland, Angelo Palmisano, Patrick Rufatt, Paul Barnes, Andrew Wyllie, Mary Clevidence, Sina Miri
