Abstract:
A method and system for controlling a computer machine such as a casino game machine includes a remote activation arrangement that does not require the computer machine to complete an online communication or series of communications. The method and system utilize a QR type code associated with each computer machine to simplify the communication of necessary information to an online website supported by a computer server. A separate mobile device of an operator or user scans a QR type code of the machine and uses the QR type code to simplify the communication and registration with the server. An authorization code is transmitted back to the mobile device and manually entered in the machine allowing the machine to function in its intended manner.
