International Game Technology looks to enter a ‘new era’ of cashless slot gaming as it confirms the final stage of Nevada’s regulatory approval for its Resort Wallet.
The approved Resort Wallet carded cashless module is set to enable players to use a loyalty card to transfer cash into a secure digital wallet from either the casino cash desk or any Resort Well-enabled slot machine.
Players can then insert their PIN-protected card into the slot machine, apply those funds to their game play, and cash out to their secure digital wallet at any time.
“Our Resort Wallet solution ensures that our customers can experience the increased liquidity, player convenience, and enhanced safety that only cashless gaming can deliver,” said Ryan Reddy, IGT vice president, VLT, systems and payments products.
“This solution will heighten the player experience to new levels while positioning our customers as technology leaders. We’re grateful to the Nevada Gaming Control Board for enabling this momentous debut in the State.”
Furthermore, players can choose to move a portion of their funds from the slot machine to their digital wallet while printing a ticket at the slot machine for the balance.
In addition to slot play, patrons can seamlessly access the funds in their Resort Wallet Cashless Wagering Account for table gaming, sports betting, and at retail points-of-sale.
The carded cashless module is one of three variations available as part of IGT’s Resort Wallet solution, the industry’s only fully integrated, turnkey cashless technology.
