  • Publication number: 20240161574
    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: 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: 9192165
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing CO2 for attracting bloodsucking arthropods (2). In this method, at least one liquid or solid organic substance (11) is reacted in an oxidation process in a targeted manner, one portion completely and another partially, thus forming, in addition to CO2, H2O and heat, at least one further partial oxidation product (P). The invention further relates to a device (1a, 1b) for generating CO2, said device (1a, 1b) comprising a storage means (10) for at least one liquid or solid organic substance (11) and an evaporation module (14) for the liquid or solid organic substance (11). The device (1a, 1b) comprises a reactor module (16) for the controlled oxidation and partial oxidation of the at least one liquid or solid organic substance (11); a control unit (80); and means (13, 18, 21, 22, 26) for regulating the oxidation and partial oxidation process.

  • Patent number: 8338649
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of an aromatic carbonyl compound by the oxidation of a methyl group or methylene group bonded to the aromatic group in which the aromatic substance is reacted in the presence of an oxidizing agent and a sulphoxide, a sulphoxide being selected for the oxidation of a specific aromatic substance whose ionization potential, in terms of magnitude, differs from the ionization potential of the aromatic substance to be oxidized by a maximum of ±0.25 eV.

  • Publication number: 20100312017
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of an aromatic carbonyl compound by the oxidation of a methyl group or methylene group bonded to the aromatic group in which the aromatic substance is reacted in the presence of an oxidising agent and a sulphoxide, a sulphoxide being selected for the oxidation of a specific aromatic substance whose ionisation potential, in terms of magnitude, differs from the ionisation potential of the aromatic substance to be oxidised by a maximum of ±0.25 eV.
