Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to a system that enables a mobile device running a mobile device application to communicate with different gaming establishment components and modify the mobile device application functionality and/or the mobile device application appearance based on different data received from different gaming establishment components.
Claims21
A gaming establishment component comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- wirelessly broadcast mobile device application configuration data, wherein when wirelessly received by a mobile device and responsive to an occurrence, based on the received mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of a mobile device application of the mobile device, of a mobile device application reconfiguration event, the configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device is modified based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data, and
- wirelessly receive data associated with a requested action, wherein the data is wirelessly communicated from the mobile device responsive to the mobile device receiving an input associated with the requested action following the mobile device application of the mobile device displaying the modified configuration which is based on the broadcasted mobile device application configuration data.
