Embodiment Construction

[0012]Operational Overview

[0013]Embodiments of the invention allow for convenient withdrawal (or equivalently “download”) of maximum amount of a patron's available credits to a gaming machine in a casino environment. A withdrawal of credits comprises the transfer of credits from a patron's account to the credit meter of the gaming machine, thereby incrementing the credit meter in the amount of the withdrawal. Allowing a patron to withdraw the maximum amount of available casino credit in a single transaction removes the need for separate withdrawals to accomplish the same task. This provides a benefit to casino patrons, in the form of reduced complexity in determining which credits are available to play with. Further, the number of withdrawal transactions required to obtain all available credit for a game of interest has been reduced to one.

A casino management system determines a total credit amount that may be downloaded by the patron. Of the total credit amount, the amount of available credit for withdrawal is determined as the patron may be restricted from using some of their credit in specific instances. The available credit amount is downloaded to the gaming machine for use by the patron in casino gameplay.

Background of the Invention[0004]Modern casinos provide a number of different ways in which patrons may wager on games in casinos. With the advent of computer-based casino games and loyalty programs, casinos have been able to facilitate patron play by offering casino gameplay credit tied to many different aspects of casino gameplay, as well as other casino related activities, such as credits related to promotions and marketing campaigns.[0005]The introduction of more forms of gameplay credit has made it more difficult for patrons to manage their gameplay. In addition to cash and casino chips, patrons may also have accumulated casino general or promotional credits that may be used throughout the casino for both gaming and non-gaming purposes (e.g. retail purcha...
