  • Publication number: 20240087408
    Abstract: A method and system are described that involve operations to communicatively couple a personal mobile device to an additional device via a casino network. The operations are further to detect a user-input gesture, performed via one or more of the personal mobile device or the additional device, to transfer a gaming object between the personal mobile device and the additional device. The operations are further to, in response to detection of the user-input gesture, route communication of the transfer to a wagering game server connected to the casino network. The operations are further to transfer, via the wagering game server, the gaming object between the personal mobile device and the additional device and animate, via a display device of one or more of the personal mobile device or the additional device, transfer of the gaming object.
