The small Station Casinos property in Henderson started testing the cardless loyalty system over the summer. The wireless loyalty system has already debuted in Las Vegas at Barley’s. MGM Resorts International started testing IGT’s Cardless Connect at MGM Detroit for a year but they aren’t the first casino operator to use the technology in Las Vegas. It was only a matter of time until Las Vegas casinos started rewarding loyalty via the app the way Starbucks does (10 bonus stars for a frappuchino this weekend). Caesars Entertainment also accepts digital payments from a different e-wallet. Well, casino operators are finally catching up with the rest of the society.Įarlier this year MGM Resorts International casinos joined other businesses by accepting mobile payments for hotel rooms, shopping and more. I can’t remember the last time I paid for a cup of coffee without using an app. It almost seems as though we’ve been able to buy things and earn or use rewards with mobile apps at retail forever. It seems as though every service has been going mobile in the past few years. Image Source: IGT Global Solutions CorporationĬhange doesn’t happen overnight.
