<p>In a gaming establishment, a player feeds a general purpose charge card (24) to a reader (26) at a gaming machine (10) or enters on a keyboard (20), information relating to the general purpose charge card (24), and keys in a desired amount of paying credit and optionally a PIN (personal identification number) for automatic transmission to a remote financial institution (28) either directly or through an intermediate transaction processing facility. Also, transmitted are an identification of the gaming machine (27) and the gaming operator (29). Upon approval of the requested playing credit, the gaming machine (10) is enabled and thereafter a running net (balance) is kept for the player and/or each machine and/or gaming operator by accounting for win-lose-draws. After the playing session is over, net playing credit information is automatically transmitted to the financial institution (28) either directly or through an intermediate transaction processing facility.</p> |
