Use of a mobile device for facilitating cashless wagering in a gaming system. An electronic gaming machine (EGM) receives account information of a user from the mobile device associated with the user. The mobile device wirelessly communicates the account information to the EGM. One or more financial transactions may be initialized between the mobile device and the EGM such that the initializing enables the mobile device to perform cashless wagering in the EGM for funding a bet associated with the account information.

Using a mobile device for facilitating cashless wagering in a gaming system

Use of a financial transaction device of a cashless wagering system is facilitated in a gaming system. An electronic gaming machine (EGM) accepts a financial transaction device, having at least an account identifier linking the financial transaction card to at least one financial account of at least one financial institution, for depositing the financial amount into at least one financial account, performing a cashless wagering operation in the EGM, and/or using the financial transaction device for payment of goods and services by gaming and non-gaming venues.

Facilitating use of a financial transaction device in a cashless wagering system in a gaming system

Use of a financial transaction device of a cashless wagering system is facilitated in a gaming system. The financial transaction device, having at least an account identifier linking the financial transaction card to at least one financial account of at least one financial institution associated with the gaming network, is provided by an electronic gaming machine (EGM), a financial institution, and/or a gaming network, for depositing the financial amount into at least one financial account, performing a cashless wagering operation in the EGM, and/or using the financial transaction device for payment of goods and services by gaming and non-gaming venues. The financial transaction device is used for depositing the financial amount into at least one financial account of the at least one financial institution associated with the gaming network by one of the EGM and the ATM, cashless wagering in the EGM, and/or purchasing the goods and services.

In various embodiments, the gaming system, gaming device, and gaming method disclosed herein utilizes a single display device to display at least one event indicator which conveys information that is otherwise displayed over a plurality of display devices. In one embodiment, the gaming system employs a multiple layered display device, wherein at least one layer of the display device displays the play of the primary game and at least one layer of the display device displays one or more event indicators. Such event indicators indicate information regarding the play of a secondary game displayed on a secondary display device. Such a configuration alleviates the player from having to frequently look up at the secondary display to determine information regarding the play of the secondary game and then look back down to the primary display to view the play of the primary game.
