Game access device with time varying signal
First Claim

1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor of at least one computer system, a first signal from a remote device at a first time period;
determining, by the at least one processor, whether the first signal matches a first bit sequence associated with the first time period;
permitting, by the at least one processor, a placement of a first bet and a generation of a first game outcome if the first signal matches the first bit sequence;
receiving, by the at least one processor, a second signal at a second time period, in which the second signal is different from the first signal;
determining, by the at least one processor, whether the second signal matches a second bit sequence associated with the second time period; and
permitting, by the at least one processor, placement of a second bet associated with a second game outcome if the second signal matches the second bit sequence associated with the second time period.

Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling access to wireless gaming devices and networks are provided. For example, access is controlled through one or more levels of security checks, such as a hard security check instead of or in addition to a soft security check. In a hard security check, the user employs an apparatus such as a card or other physical token that can be used to access the wireless gaming device. Such an apparatus may communicate information that identifies the user to the device or may simply be used to produce a signal without which the device is locked to users. The apparatus may further emit a time varying signal to enhance security.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
a wristband; an emitter operable to emit a first signal which is associated with a first player; a receiver operable to detect a second signal which is associated with a second player; a medium for storing a set of signals, each signal associated with a player; logic operable to use the medium to look up an identity of the second player based on the second signal; and an output device operable to produce a third signal which is perceptible to humans, the third signal produced based on the identity of the second player. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, direct the at least one processor to; receive a first signal at a first time; determine whether the first signal matches a first bit sequence associated with the first time; permit placement of a first bet and a generation of a first game outcome if the first signal matches the first bit sequence; receive a second signal at a second time, in which the second signal is different from the first signal; and determine whether the second signal matches a second bit sequence associated with a second time; and permit placement of a second bet associated with a second game outcome if the second signal matches the second bit sequence associated with the second time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
