摘要

There is provided a computerized gaming system operable in a landbased gaming mode controlled by a landbased gaming control unit and in an on-line gaming mode controlled by an on-line gaming control unit operating independently of the landbased gaming control unit, and a method of operating thereof. The method comprises obtaining by the landbased gaming control unit an information related to a player, the information indicative, at least, of said player's balance with regard to the landbased gaming mode. The method further comprises, responsive to the player's switching from the landbased gaming mode to on-line gaming mode, electronically communicating the most updated information indicative, at least, of said player's balance with regard to the landbased gaming mode from the landbased control unit to the on-line control unit controlling the on-line gaming mode, thereby enabling said player to participate in the on-line playing mode.
