  • Patent number: 9830770
    Abstract: An electronic wager based gaming system includes primary communication devices, a game administration server component, and a player account server component, all adapted to communicate with separate third party computing (i.e., player) devices, such as smart phones. The game administration component administers wager based game play on player devices and communicates game inputs and results therewith via primary communication devices. The player account component facilitates new player account creation by providing unique verification information to the player device (such as via display to the player) and facilitating the reception of player specific financial information from the player via a separate secondary communication device. This secondary device can involve a voice call with a human operator for the system, where the operator enters the new player information, which is then sent back to the player device via the primary communication device and confirmed by the player over the voice call.
