Method for transferring credit from one gaming machine to another |
摘要 |
A method for transferring credits between gaming devices connected by a network to a host computer comprising. A player account accessible by the host computer is created. The player can access the account by inserting a card into a card reader at one of the gaming devices. A credit is applied by the player to the gaming device, typically by inserting bills into a bill acceptor. The credit and any awards resulting from gaming-device play are stored on a credit meter associated with the gaming device. Access to the account is terminated when the player withdraws the card from the card reader. A player initiates a request to redeem the balance stored on the credit meter by depressing a cash-out button. The balance on the credit meter is transferred to the player account if the cash-out button is pressed before the card is withdrawn, and is paid to the player via the gaming machine if the button is pressed after the card is withdrawn.
