Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic gaming system is configured to provide a wagering session on an electronic gaming machine based upon one or more communications received from a mobile device of a player, where the communications indicate a signal strength of a wireless beacon relative to the mobile device. for example, the mobile device may provide a first communication indicating that the mobile device is within a first distance of the electronic gaming machine. in response, the wagering session may be provided or initiated. likewise, during gameplay, the mobile device may provide a second communication indicating that the mobile device has moved to within a second distance of the electronic gaming machine. in response, the wagering session may be continued or terminated, depending upon, for example, a comparison of the second distance to a threshold second distance.
