Benefits of technology

[0011]One exemplary embodiment includes a system and method for a gaming facility to evaluate a card player user in order to facilitate a “cost of annoyance” informed decision as to whether the facility will allow the player to establish a player's account or participate in gaming activities at a particular point in time. The decision may be based on dynamic house weighting factors including, for example, the locale of the facility, the applicable jurisdictional rules and regulations, the player's age, the player's history, at least one of the player's credit ratings, the time of day, the proposed period of play, and the like. According to exemplary embodiments of the invention, a gaming facility may have an automated credit checking system that calculates a cost of annoyance calculation for prospective players, thereby preventing the loss of preferred players due to false credit reports, errors, oversights and the like. Depending on the classification of the player, a player may be restricted to a particular play methodology (rules) and strategy, or provided strategic coaching.

Problems solved by technology
