摘要： In certain embodiments, social distancing is implemented at a gaming establishment (such as a casino) by disabling one or more neighboring gaming machines from being played while a first patron is playing at a first gaming machine. Social grouping is implemented by enabling a second patron who is in a social group with the first patron to play at one of the neighboring gaming machines, while the first patron is playing at the first gaming machine. In some implementations, a gaming system of the gaming establishment controls which gaming machines are disabled. In other implementations, patrons' cell phones running a gaming app communicate directly with the gaming machines to disable the neighboring gaming machines while enabling patrons in the same social group to play at neighboring gaming machines. In some implementations, play at a gaming machine is prevented by temporarily disabling the gaming machine's bill validator.

摘要： A transaction involving the purchase of gaming credit at a gaming table or gaming machine is facilitated at a gaming establishment's touchpoint by transmitting from a wireless device (e.g., a patron's cell phone) to a transaction server operated by a transaction-funding business: patron-identifying information for the patron and a touchpoint ID associated with the touchpoint read using the wireless device. The transaction server authorizes the transaction, transmits that authorization to the cell phone and/or the gaming establishment, and the gaming establishment provides the gaming credit to the patron. In some implementations, the touchpoint has an associated voucher printer that prints a gaming voucher that is redeemed at the gaming table or gaming machine for the gaming credit. The transaction-funding business funds the purchase for the patron without any funds ever residing on or passing through the patron's cell phone.

摘要： A transaction is facilitated at a business's touchpoint by transmitting from a wireless device (e.g., a patron's cell phone) to a transaction server operated by a transaction-funding business: patron-identifying information for the patron and a touchpoint ID associated with the touchpoint read using the wireless device. The transaction server authorizes the transaction, transmits that authorization to the cell phone and/or the touchpoint business, and the touchpoint business provides goods/services to the patron. In some implementations, the transaction-funding business transfers outgoing funds for the transaction to the touchpoint business and receives incoming funds for the transaction from the patron. In a casino, a patron can use his/her cell phone to purchase gaming credit at a gaming machine without using a paper voucher or currency. The transaction-funding business funds the purchase for the patron without any funds ever residing on or passing through the patron's cell phone.

摘要： In certain embodiments, a casino system has a server and a kiosk that receives, from a user, a voucher/player card having an associated monetary value and dispenses, to the user, a portion of the monetary value in paper currency, while the network converts the remainder of the monetary value to player points associated with the user. The kiosk may enable the user to select the portion of the monetary value to convert to player points and/or the portion of the monetary value to receive in paper currency, where the rate of converting monetary value to player points may increase as the selected portion of monetary value increases. Alternatively, the network may automatically select the portion to dispense in paper currency and the portion to convert to player points based on the smallest denomination of paper currency available to be dispensed by the kiosk.

摘要： In one embodiment, a cash machine, such as a casino kiosk or a bank ATM, charges a varying surcharge to patrons requesting cash withdrawals, where the size of the surcharge depends on previous requests for cash-withdrawal transactions. In general, whether or not a previous patron agreed to complete a previously requested cash withdrawal having a specified surcharge may affect the size of the surcharge offered to the next patron requesting a cash withdrawal. For example, if the previous patron completed the previous transaction, then the cash machine might increase the surcharge offered to the next patron and, if the previous patron failed to complete the previous transaction, then the cash machine might decrease the surcharge offered to the next patron. The invention can be applied to types of transactions other than cash withdrawals from cash machines, where customer touchpoints adjust current prices based on the history of previous transactions.

摘要： In certain embodiments, an ATM system validates a user having a multi-digit PIN code. During different access events, either at the same ATM machine or at different ATM machines, the ATM machine presents to the user different sequences of one or more representations of the user's PIN code that identify different subsets of digits and/or different orders of digits to be provided by the user for validation. This makes it more difficult for third parties to steal a user's PIN code because no single access event involves all of the digits in the user's PIN code and/or the proper order of the digits in the user's PIN code, and different access events involve different sequences of the PIN code. In a distributed ATM system having a centralized banking subsystem, the correct PIN code is never provided to an ATM machine for any one access event, thereby further improving system security.

摘要： In one embodiment, a cash-dispensing machine, having one or more, single-denomination cash cassettes, such as a kiosk for a casino or other gaming enterprise or a bill-breaking machine, performs a cassette-verification operation in which the machine dispenses bills to a user, and the user inserts those bills back into the machine. The machine verifies that the total number and total monetary value of the inserted bills match the total number and expected total monetary value of the dispensed bills. The total number and expected total monetary value are selected such that (i) there is a different number of bills for each different denomination and (ii) given the available denominations, there is only one combination of the total number of bills having the expected total monetary value. The cassette-verification operation can be used to detect when one or more cash cassettes contain bills of the wrong denomination.

摘要： In one embodiment, a two-portion cash-dispensing machine has a first secure portion that receives paper currency during bill-breaking operations and vouchers during voucher-redemption operations and a second secure portion that dispenses paper currency. Physical access to the first secure portion is restricted to authorized first agents, and physical access to the second secure portion is restricted to authorized second agents. Physical access to the first secure portion by an authorized first agent does not inherently provide physical access to the second secure portion by the authorized first agent, and vice versa. In one application, two different business entities are respectively responsible for maintaining the two different secure portions, and the machine communicates information associated with requests for transfers of funds from a bank account of the first entity to a bank account of the second entity to reimburse the second entity for bill-breaking and voucher-redemption operations.

摘要： A computer-based casino gaming system includes a ticket server and a marker server. The ticket server controls generation and redemption of gaming vouchers used for play at gaming machine/tables. The marker server controls granting of non-cashable markers having non-cashable value to casino patrons. When the marker server determines to grant a non-cashable marker requested by a patron, the ticket server generates a first gaming voucher representing a first monetary value corresponding to the non-cashable value. When the patron uses the first gaming voucher for play at a gaming machine/table, the ticket server redeems the first gaming voucher and transmits a message identifying playing credit corresponding to the first monetary value represented by the first gaming voucher and the patron is enabled to play at the gaming machine/table using the identified playing credit. The system ensures that the non-cashable marker is paid back before redeeming any cashable value to the patron.

摘要： A contact-tracing (CT) device associated with an inanimate object or location receives a wireless message from a first mobile device indicating that a first user of the first mobile device had previously been exposed to a communicable disease (e.g., Covid). In response, the CT device begins to broadcast tokens indicating that exposure. A second mobile device receiving such a token identifies that exposure to a second user of the second mobile device, thereby enabling the second user to leave the location of the CT device. In some implementations, the CT device informs a backend CT server about the exposure, and the second mobile device queries the CT server about that exposure, thereby enabling the second user to avoid the location of the CT device.
