IGT Receives Full Nevada Regulatory Approval for Cashless Gaming Solution
Global gaming giant IGT has received regulatory approval in Nevada for the Resort Wallet module of its IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system, allowing the company to deploy its full cashless gaming solution across the state.
In an overnight announcement, IGT said the approval means casinos in Nevada currently using the IGT ADVANTAGE system can now offer their players the option to fund their cashless wagering accounts directly from their personal mobile devices, eliminating the need to handle cash or visit a casino cage, ATM or kiosk.
By combining Resort Wallet and IGTPay, players can securely transfer funds to and from their cashless wagering account from a range of external payment sources such as bank accounts, credit and debit cards or Sightline Play+ prepaid accounts, the company explained. Funds within the PIN-protected cashless wagering account can then be transferred to and from a slot game with a simple tap of a smartphone when initiating or concluding cashless slot play.
