Abstract
A portable communication device is equipped to transfer gaming elements stored on the portable communication device to a target electronic device. The portable communication device transfers user-defined gaming element transfer query to an electronic device via a near-field communications (NFC) module. The target electronic device receives one or more gaming elements from the portable communication device via the NFC module or a data object via the NFC module that enables the target electronic device to acquire the one or more gaming elements from a remote storage (e.g., a gaming server).
