Methods and systems for presenting a gaming-related message to a gamer in an area proximate to a beacon associated with a casino

A method comprising:

• receiving a first signal from a communication device, the first signal received in response to the communication device entering at least one of an immediate zone, a near zone, or a far zone, the immediate zone defined around a first beacon, the near zone defined around the immediate zone, and the far zone defined around the near zone;
• determining, based on the first signal, a first zone associated with the communication device, wherein the first zone is one of the immediate zone, the near zone, or the far zone;
• determining a first state of the communication device based on a movement of the communication device relative to the first beacon and one or more of the immediate zone, the near zone and the far zone, wherein the first state is one of an incoming state, an outgoing state, a lingering state or an idle state;
• and
• transmitting a message to the communication device based at least in part on the first zone and the first state.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible, computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• receive a first signal from a communication device, the first signal received in response to the communication device entering at least one of an immediate zone, a near zone, or a far zone, the immediate zone defined around a first beacon, the near zone defined around the immediate zone, and the far zone defined around the near zone;
• determine, based on the first signal, a first zone associated with the communication device, wherein the first zone is one of the immediate zone, the near zone, or the far zone;
• determine a first state of the communication device based on a movement of the communication device relative to the first beacon and one or more of the immediate zone, the near zone and the far zone, wherein the first state is one of an incoming state, an outgoing state, or an idle state;
• and
• transmit a message to the communication device based at least in part on the first zone and the first state.
