Sightline Payments, a leader in cashless gaming and betting solutions, announced today that it has partnered with Boyd Gaming and Avolistat Technologies to serve as a sponsor's funding solution for the new cashless gaming service at Blue Chip Casino, Hotel & Spa in Michigan City, Indiana.
The new, jointly developed experience represents a true end-to-end digital cashless ecosystem. Customers of the Blue Chip Casino can electronically load funds from their personal account of choice, after which digital cash can be used safely and securely to make bets directly from their favorite slot machine. This will allow funds left on the slot machine to be optionally transferred back to their digital wallet, which can then be used for other games at the casino. In future phases, the solution will be expanded to table games, restaurants, and many other amenities.
Blake Rampmaier, senior vice president and chief information officer at Boyd Gaming, said: "Based on our partnership with Sightline and Avolistat, we are proud to introduce solutions designed from scratch to deliver an unrivalled, cashless experience that delivers convenience, safety and security to our customers."
Recently, the American Gaming Association conducted a study showing that consumers want digital payment options given the health challenges associated with the pandemic:
59% of casino visitors last year are less likely to use cash in their daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Last year, 57% of casino visitors reported the importance of digital or contactless payment options on casino floors due to the COVID-19 pandemic
The partnership between Boyd Gaming, Arvestat Technologies and Sightline Payments enables Blue Chip Casino to now deliver an integrated, state-of-the-art, cashless digital payment solution with strong customer loyalty.
"Sightline appreciates Boyd Gaming's vision and celebrates its launch," said Joe Pappano, Sightline's chief executive. "A mobile-centric payment ecosystem that works across all channels and sectors is the future of all regulated gaming in the United States."
In the months ahead, pending regulatory approval, Boyd plans to expand these capabilities to customers across the country and extend the utility of the ecosystem to the touchpoints all customers face. 실시간 바카라사이트
