International Game Technology Tuesday announced it has received regulatory approval in Nevada for its Resort Wallet module of the IGT Advantage casino management system.

Resort Wallet, which includes an option for one-step external funding via IGTPay on personal mobile devices, can now legally be deployed throughout the state.

“IGT earning Nevada regulatory approval for our award-winning, fully integrated cashless solution is a perfect bookend for a year marked with tremendous momentum for our Resort Wallet and IGTPay cashless gaming modules of the IGT ADVANTAGE system,” said IGT SVP Global PM VLT, Systems, Payments & Poker Ryan Reddy in a statement. “This milestone achievement will allow for players and operators throughout the State to enjoy the many benefits of cashless gaming and reinforces Nevada’s reputation as a future-forward gaming jurisdiction that is committed to advancing the player experience.”

Casinos in Nevada leveraging the IGT ADVANTAGE are now able to offer players funding of cashless wagering accounts directly from personal mobile devices without having to visit ATMs, kiosks, or casino cages. Through Resort Wallet and IGTPay, players can transfer funds to and from cashless wagering accounts from bank accounts, credit and debit cards, or Sightline Play+ prepaid accounts.

Funds in pin-protected cashless wagering accounts then can be transferred to and from slot machines with a simple tap of a smartphone.
