Abstract
A ticketless system and method of managing casino patron money balances which eliminates paper media handling and reconciliation. The system includes a self-service computer for receiving a first amount of money from a casino patron during a first transaction. The self-service computer stores the first amount and a phone number of a mobile communication device of the patron in a record associated with the patron. The record is accessible to a gaming machine in response to a first message from the mobile communication device of the patron. The self-service computer retrieves a second amount of money from the record during a second transaction representing money transferred from the gaming machine in response to a second message from the mobile communication device of the patron, and transfers the second amount of money to the patron.
