Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005029287A2] The intention is to provide a variety of bonusing products that function through a bonusing system network intended to recognize and automatically reward players participating in pari-mutuel and wagering in all forms including wagers made at tracks, through tote systems' wagering terminals, Internet, telephone and other electronic means with the ability to track and reward players based on the wagering activity. Contemporaneous with issuance of a betting ticket, or after the results of the race are posted, an award of a bonus can be made in association with the players betting activity. The network also has the capability of connecting electronic gaming machines (EGM). The bonusing network includes functional interfaces to point-of-sale systems (including food & beverage, event ticketing and other retail outlets) and hotel management systems.
