Abstract
An electronic wagering system may include a wager selection station, a server, and a software application executed by a mobile communication device. At least one processor of the wager selection station may accept user input specifying parameters of an event on which to place a wager, generate a unique reference from which the specified event parameters are derivable, encode the unique reference in a machine-readable optical code, and display the generated optical code. The software application may operate the user's mobile communication device to scan the displayed optical code, retrieve the unique reference by decoding the scanned optical code, transmit the unique reference to the server for deriving the specified event parameters from the unique reference at the server, receive user input to place a wager on the event with the specified parameters, and transmit a request to the server to place the wager on behalf of the user.
