Arbistat Technologies, Inc. today announced the launch of Arbistat's cashless betting digital wallet technology at Boyd Gaming's Blue Chip Casino, Hotel & Spa in Michigan City, Indiana, in partnership with major casino operator Boyd Gaming Corporation.
This new innovation is the cornerstone of a new "resort wallet" feature that allows customers to put cash into their accounts at checkout and then have instant access to the funds on the casino floor using their player loyalty cards. Digital wallets create a frictionless experience for customers, eliminating the need to handle cash on slot machines and refund tickets.
The blue chip launch will initially give slot machine players access to their wallets, allowing them to cash in their bets and credits using B connected player loyalty cards. In future phases, access to digital wallets will extend to table games, restaurants, and other amenities.
Based on the success of the Blue Chip launch, and pending regulatory approvals, Aristocrat and Boyd Gaming intend to expand digital wallet technology to additional Boyd Gaming properties across the country. The two companies also plan to integrate the digital wallet into Boyd Gaming's B Connected Mobile app, creating a truly digital, touchless experience for Boyd Gaming customers.
"Building on our strategic partnership with Aristocrat, Boyd Gaming continues to add best-in-class mobile cashless wagering and contactless solutions that will greatly enhance the patron experience at our properties," said Blake Rampmaier, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Boyd Gaming. "As previously announced, we will continue to leverage our partnership with Aristocrat to drive mobile innovation in a secure and exciting environment for our patrons."
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many regulators have asked manufacturers to accelerate their cashless strategies. Aristocrat believes the time is now for cashless gaming and has invested heavily in expanding digital and mobile strategies that will assist in transforming the casino floor to be a more robust patron experience while supporting responsible gaming initiatives. 바카라사이트 추천
