and responsive to receipt of second, different mobile device application configuration data from a second component at a second, different location within the gaming establishment, causing a display, by the mobile device, of a second, different appearance of the mobile device application associated with the gaming establishment. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein causing the display of the first appearance of the mobile device application associated with the gaming establishment occurs responsive to an occurrence of a first mobile device application reconfiguration event based on the received first mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein causing the display of the second, different appearance of the mobile device application associated with the gaming establishment occurs responsive to an occurrence of a second mobile device application reconfiguration event based on the received second, different mobile device application configuration data and the configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first component is different from the second component. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first component and the second component comprise the mobile device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first component and the second component comprises an electronic gaming machine in communication with the mobile device, a gaming terminal in communication with the mobile device and associated with a gaming table, a gaming establishment sports book kiosk in communication with the mobile device, and a point-of-sale terminal in communication with the mobile device and associated with a gaming establishment retail location. ### Claim 7 A method of operating a system, the method comprising: responsive to receipt of first mobile device application configuration data from a first component at a first location within a gaming establishment, causing, by a mobile device, an activation of a function of a mobile device application, the mobile device and the mobile device application each being separate and distinct from any electronic gaming machine and any electronic gaming machine application operable to display any wagering game; and responsive to receipt of second, different mobile device application configuration data from a second component at a second, different location within the gaming establishment, causing, by the mobile device, a deactivation of the function of the mobile device application. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein causing the activation of the function of the mobile device application occurs responsive to an occurrence of a first mobile device application reconfiguration event based on the received first mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein causing the deactivation of the function of the mobile device application occurs responsive to an occurrence of a second mobile device application reconfiguration event based on the received second, different mobile device application configuration data and the configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the first component is different from the second component. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the first component and the second component comprise the mobile device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein at least one of the first component and the second component comprises an electronic gaming machine in communication with the mobile device, a gaming terminal in communication with the mobile device and associated with a gaming table, a gaming establishment sports book kiosk in communication with the mobile device, and a point-of-sale terminal in communication with the mobile device and associated with a gaming establishment retail location. ### Claim 13 A method of operating a system, the method comprising: responsive to receipt of first mobile device application configuration data from a first component at a first location within a gaming establishment, causing a mobile device application of a mobile device to be associated with a first attribute, the mobile device and the mobile device application each being separate and distinct from any electronic gaming machine and any electronic gaming machine application operable to display any wagering game; and responsive to receipt of second, different mobile device application configuration data from a second component at a second, different location within the gaming establishment, causing the mobile device application of the mobile device to be associated with a second, different attribute. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the first attribute comprises a first displayed appearance of the mobile device application and the second, different attribute comprises a second, different displayed appearance of the mobile device application. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the first attribute comprises an activation of a function of the mobile device application and the second, different attribute comprises a deactivation of the function of the mobile device application. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein causing the mobile device application of the mobile device to be associated with the first attribute occurs responsive to an occurrence of a first mobile device application reconfiguration event based on the received first mobile device application configuration data and a configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein causing the mobile device application of the mobile device to be associated with the second, different attribute occurs responsive to an occurrence of a second mobile device application reconfiguration event based on the received second, different mobile device application configuration data and the configuration of the mobile device application of the mobile device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the first component is different from the second component. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the first component and the second component comprise the mobile device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein at least one of the first component and the second component comprises an electronic gaming machine in communication with the mobile device, a gaming terminal in communication with the mobile device and associated with a gaming table, a gaming establishment sports book kiosk in communication with the mobile device, and a point-of-sale terminal in communication with the mobile device and associated with a gaming establishment retail location.
