Claim 10:
11. The casino of claim 1, wherein:
when a non-terminal transceiver receives the incoming message from another wireless transceiver, the receiving non-terminal transceiver identifies a thread ID number and determines (i) whether the thread ID number is already on its list of threads, (ii) if so, whether it is an existing thread or a terminated thread, and (iii) if it is an existing thread, whether it is a node that started the existing thread;
if the thread ID number is not on its list of threads or if it is a terminated thread, then the non-terminal transceiver does not re-broadcast the incoming message;
if the thread ID number is on its list of threads as an existing thread, but the existing thread was not started by the non-terminal transceiver, then the non-terminal transceiver re-broadcasts the incoming message and then updates its list of threads to indicate that the thread is now terminated; and
if the thread ID number is on its list of threads as an existing thread and if the existing thread was started by the non-terminal transceiver, then the non-terminal transceiver transmits the incoming message to the mobile device and then updates its list of threads to indicate that the thread is now terminated.
