Sports bettors will have the option of depositing cash at an on-site kiosk powered by NRT Technology or loading their wallet by enrolling in Sightline’s Play+ platform. Customers there will be able to load funds onto a single wallet through JOINGO, a Sightline Payments solution. Resorts World is being publicized as the most technologically advanced casino in the world, Michaels told Sports Handle. “COVID-19 accelerated the shift to contactless payment options.” “People are carrying around less and less cash, it’s just a fact,” said Jonathan Michaels, senior vice president of Strategic Development & Government Affairs at Sightline Payments. Cashless transactions will also be a hallmark of the Resorts World retail sportsbook, in line with casino industry trends across the nation. Patrons can make any purchase - gaming, shopping, hotel, and dining - on a digital basis. Resorts World Vegas, a $4.3 billion property on the north end of the Strip, bills itself as the first casino in the nation where customers won’t need cash for any transaction inside the venue. When Resorts World Las Vegas opens its doors Thursday night, it will mark the first opening of a casino on the Las Vegas Strip since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the first debut of a mega casino on the famous thoroughfare over the last decade.
