Abstract
An electronic fund transfer system and method for transferring a plurality of electronic funds from a financial account to a gaming device is described. The method includes enabling a handheld mobile communication device to receive a user instruction that transfers electronic funds from the financial account to the gaming device associated with a casino management system. A host system communicates with the gaming credit system via a local network. A funds management portal communicates with the host system and a secure payment gateway. The funds management portal receives a record of the electronic funds transfer from the user financial account. The method enables the funds management portal to send instructions to the host system that issues an electronic credit to the gaming device. The electronic credit corresponds to the electronic funds from the financial account. A ticket, which is associated with the electronic credit, is received by the gaming device.
