International Game Technology is contributing to the evolution of casino operations with its Resort Wallet cashless solution at the newly reopened Resorts World Catskills Casino and Resort in Monticello, N.Y., a subsidiary of the Genting Group. Resort Wallet gives Resorts World Catskills’ patrons the option of a contactless and safe cashless gaming experience. Players can use their Resorts World Catskills Players Club card to load cash into a secure digital wallet from either the casino cashier or any slot machine, and access those funds from any slot machine.
In addition, Resort Wallet minimizes line-ups at kiosks and the cashier to encourage social distancing. It also generates greater operational efficiencies by reducing cash-handling costs and associated safety and security risks. Cashless play also lessens machine maintenance and results in fewer cash-handling errors.
“IGT’s Resort Wallet positions Resorts World Catskills as an innovative technology leader and keeps safety at the forefront of our operations,” said Bob DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East.
“IGT’s Resort Wallet solution gives Resorts World Catskills the early-adopter advantage among commercial casinos in New York with the debut of cashless gaming,” said Ryan Reddy, IGT Vice President, Global Systems and Payments Products. “Because Resorts World Catskills operates with the latest version of our IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system, a quick and simple remote installation has enabled the casino to benefit from the increased liquidity, efficiencies, player convenience and safety that are only possible with cashless gaming.”
The Resort Wallet, part of the IGT ADVANTAGE systems Player Experience Product Suite, is available as a turnkey add-on module for IGT ADVANTAGE casino-management-system customers who want to give players a cashless wagering option.
