  • Publication number: 20240112179
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system including at least one memory device with instructions stored thereon and at least one processor in communication with a plurality of electronic gaming devices and the at least one memory device is described. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to determine that a player account is identified at an electronic gaming device at a first property and identify a player wallet account and a first localized wallet account associated with the player wallet account, the player, and the first property. The instructions also cause the processor to determine that a balance flag associated with a second localized wallet account is stored and transfer the balance from the second localized wallet account to the first localized wallet account wherein the balance is available at the electronic gaming device upon completion of the transfer.

  • Patent number: 11922762
    Abstract: A digital wallet computing system is described including at least one processor in communication with a memory storing instructions. The instructions cause the at least one processor to establish wireless connectivity between a mobile device and an electronic gaming device, the electronic gaming device including a device identifier, receive a funds transfer request from the mobile device, the funds transfer request identifying a funds transfer amount and an external player account, and identify an operator identity based on the device identifier. The instructions also cause the at least one processor to identify a player account, the player account associated with the operator, perform a first withdrawal transaction moving the funds transfer amount from the electronic gaming device to the player account, and in response to the first withdrawal transaction, automatically perform a second withdrawal transaction moving the funds transfer amount from the player account to the external player account.

  • Publication number: 20220148377
    Abstract: A digital wallet computer system includes a messaging application programming interface (API) configured to receive funds transfer messages in a first format, a message queue configured to receive funds transfer messages from the messaging API in a second format, and at least one processor storing instructions. The instructions cause the at least one processor to receive a first funds transfer message in response to initiation of a funds transfer request at an electronic gaming device of a plurality of electronic gaming devices and convert the first funds transfer message from the first format to the second format. The instructions also cause the at least one processor to transmit the first funds transfer message to a digital wallet server and automatically cause a funds amount associated with the first funds transfer message to be deposited in an external player account of the player at an external provider server.

  • Publication number: 20110172965
    Abstract: A centralized diagnostics management tool is disclosed that facilitates centralized monitoring of distributed components of a supervisory process control and manufacturing information application. The centralized diagnostics management tool includes a diagnostics management console shell that is customized according to a set of software modules that interface to data sources to populate views supported by the console shell. The console shell includes a set of view templates including controls for manipulating graphically displayed representations of data rendered by the distributed components. The console shell also includes an interface for exchanging requests and data with an extensible set of software modules that provide data links to ones of the set of distributed components. The software modules also define the customizable portions of the view rendered by the console shell.

  • Patent number: 7496911
    Abstract: A method is disclosed, in a supervisory process control system environment, for installing supervisory process control software from a central software deployment server. The software distribution method includes the step of first specifying a software component for a supervisory process control application to be deployed to a remote location and a destination for the software component based upon a distributed application configuration. A software component is conditionally transmitted to the remote supervisory control computer, after the determining step, if the software component for the supervisory process control application is not present at the remote location.
