Abstract:
A system (1) for controlling an electronic gaming machine (EGM) (2) in accordance with one or more playing parameters (3) of a user (4) comprises a computer programmable medium (CPM) (5) for storing playing parameter data (6) relating to the one or more playing parameters and a computer (7) for receiving the CPM, wherein the user (4) enters or updates the playing parameter data (6) on the CPM (5). The system (1) has an EGM (2) comprising a controller (8) for controlling operation of the EGM and a device (9) for communicating with the CPM (5). The communicating device (9) retrieves the playing parameter data (6) from the CPM (5) and transfers the playing parameter data to the controller (8), such that the controller uses the playing parameter data to operate the EGM (2) in accordance with the one or more playing parameters (3). A corresponding method (40) is provided.
