Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for controlling access to wireless gaming devices and networks are provided. For example, access is controlled through one or more levels of security checks, such as a hard security check instead of or in addition to a soft security check. In a hard security check, the user employs an apparatus such as a card or other physical token that can be used to access the wireless gaming device. Such an apparatus may communicate information that identifies the user to the device or may simply be used to produce a signal without which the device is locked to users. The apparatus may further emit a time varying signal to enhance security.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving a first signal at a first time; determining a first period based on the first time; comparing the first signal to a second signal that is associated with the first period; permitting the placement of a first bet and the generation of a first game outcome if the first signal matches the second signal; receiving a third signal at a second time, in which the third signal is different from the first signal; determining a…
