摘要： A transaction involving the purchase of gaming credit at a gaming table or gaming machine is facilitated at a gaming establishment's touchpoint by transmitting from a wireless device (e.g., a patron's cell phone) to a transaction server operated by a transaction-funding business: patron-identifying information for the patron and a touchpoint ID associated with the touchpoint read using the wireless device. The transaction server authorizes the transaction, transmits that authorization to the cell phone and/or the gaming establishment, and the gaming establishment provides the gaming credit to the patron. In some implementations, the touchpoint has an associated voucher printer that prints a gaming voucher that is redeemed at the gaming table or gaming machine for the gaming credit. The transaction-funding business funds the purchase for the patron without any funds ever residing on or passing through the patron's cell phone.

摘要： A casino having a nodal network of wireless transceivers. Each bank of gaming machines has a transceiver within wireless communication range of at least one other transceiver. A casino patron uses a casino app running on a mobile device to communicate with the external network cloud via the nodal network from any location within the casino at which the mobile device is within wireless communication range of a connected transceiver. The mobile device transmits to the connected transceiver an outgoing message that is propagated wirelessly through the nodal network to the external network cloud via a terminal transceiver. The mobile device receives from the connected transceiver an incoming message that has been transmitted from the external network cloud to the terminal transceiver and then propagated wirelessly through the nodal network to the connected transceiver.
