Electronic gaming device tracking system and method

A host system for a device management system, the host system comprising a real-time locating system, at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the real-time locating system, and at least one gaming device, the at least one gaming device including at least one sub-component and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to detect at least one RFID identifier of at least one RFID tag disposed on the at least one sub-component, the at least one processor configured to:

• receive device data from the at least one gaming device, the device data identifying the detected at least one RFID identifier;
• perform a lookup to identify the at least one sub-component based on the detected at least one RFID identifier;
• determine a real-time location of the at least one gaming device using the real-time locating system;
• determine a location of the at least one sub-component based on the determined real-time location of the at least one gaming device;
• and
• generate a map including the real-time location of the at least one gaming device and the location of the at least one sub-component.

A method for device management, the method performed by a host system including a real-time locating system and at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the real-time locating system, and at least one gaming device, the at least one gaming device including at least one sub-component and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to detect at least one RFID identifier of at least one RFID tag disposed on the at least one sub-component, the method comprising:

• receiving device data from the at least one gaming device, the device data identifying the detected at least one RFID identifier;
• performing a lookup to identify the at least one sub-component based on the detected at least one RFID identifier;
• determining a real-time location of the at least one gaming device using the real-time locating system;
• determining a location of the at least one sub-component based on the determined real-time location of the at least one gaming device;
• and
• generating a map including the real-time location of the at least one gaming device and the location of the at least one sub-component.
