Patent

CA 2495550

An apparatus, system and method for electronically transferring funds at a gaming device. The apparatus includes a gaming device having a ticketing system that includes a ticket reader and a ticket printer. The processor of the gaming device communicates with each of these devices as well as a ticket validation system, which is preferably located within the casino or gaming establishment outside of the gaming device. The gaming device also includes an electronic funds transfer control unit that communicates with a card reader, keypad and display for prompting the player to enter fund transfer card information. The control unit sends out fund requests over a wide area network to a remote fund repository. If the repository approves of a fund request, the approval travels back to the ticket validation system, which instructs the gaming device to issue a ticket to the player having the requested amount and a receipt for the electronic funds transfer.

La présente invention concerne un appareil, un système et un procédé de virement électronique au profit d'une console de jeu. L'appareil comporte une console de jeu équipée d'un système de traitement de tickets réunissant un lecteur de tickets et une imprimante à tickets. Le processeur de la console de jeu communique avec chacun des ces appareils ainsi qu'avec un système de validation des tickets extérieur à la console et situé de préférence à l'intérieur du casino ou de l'établissement de jeu. La console comporte également un contrôleur de virements électroniques qui communique avec un lecteur de carte, un clavier, et un écran, et qui est chargé de demander au joueur de fournir les informations de la carte de virement. Ce contrôleur utilise un réseau grandes distances pour envoyer à un dépositaire de fonds une demande de crédit. Si le dépositaire accepte la demande de virement, l'acceptation revient au système de validation de tickets, lequel demande à la console de produire, d'une part un ticket au profit du joueur disposant du montant demandé, et d'autre part un reçu correspondant au virement électronique.
