Claims20
An electronic gaming machine comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- responsive to determining a first wireless connection status between a mobile device and the processor, cause an output device of the electronic gaming machine to output a first indication associated with the first wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, and
- responsive to determining a second, different wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, cause the output device of the electronic gaming machine to output a second, different indication associated with the second, different wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor.
