1. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor responsive to a fund request made when an amount of funds associated with a first edge account is less than an requested amount of funds, when an amount of funds associated with a central account is less than the requested amount of funds and when an amount of funds associated with a second edge account is at least equal to the requested amount of funds, cause the processor to communicate data that results in the requested amount of funds being automatically transferred first from the second edge account to the first edge and then from the first edge account to a gaming establishment component.
