Abstract

See full text

An integrated system for identifying casino customers, placing wagers and tracking wins and losses, and for placing reservations and services, that is capable of automatically verifying that sufficient funds are available, and that tracks the cumulative amounts of money won, lost, and spent by a customer. A hand-held wireless communications device includes a biometric sensor to measure at least one piece of biometric data from a customer during operation which is compared to a previously measured piece of reference biometric data to authenticate the request. One or more receivers receiving requests from a handheld wireless communications device accepts the requests if the requests originated from within an area having access restricted to customers meeting the desired criteria, such as minimum age. Automatic notification of a wagering results are provided. Updated cumulative totals of funds remaining in a customer's account are tracked and displayed. The system can automatically verify that sufficient funds are available to pay for such requested waters, reservations and services.
