International Game Technology (IGT) has today announced that the gaming company will deploy its cashless gaming solution in Oklahoma through a multi-year agreement with Indigo Sky Casino in Wyandotte. The partnership will see the OK property utilize IGT’s Resort Wallet, IGTPay platform and its IGT Advantage casino management system.
Per the agreement, Indigo Sky Casino patrons will be able to access funds from external sources including credit cards, debit cards and eWallets. The property plans to launch IGT’s full gaming solution in 2021 including the carded cashless option and cardless cashless option.
Carded cashless allows players to leverage their GO Rewards loyalty card and insert it into a slot machine to transfer funds, fund play, cash out and check account balances, while cardless cashless allows for the use of the property’s app to complete payments.
"In deploying IGT's Resort Wallet and IGTPay, Indigo Sky Casino will benefit from the many advantages of operating a cashless gaming ecosystem and its guests will enjoy added choice and convenience on the casino floor," said Ryan Reddy, IGT senior vice president global product management for VLT, poker, systems and payments.
"Launching Resort Wallet and IGTPay in Oklahoma, one of the country's premier tribal gaming markets, reflects IGT's continued leadership in the digital payments space and the versatility of the IGT Advantage casino management system and modules."
The integration of IGT’s platform will see Indigo Sky patrons create PIN-protected cashless wagering accounts to fund their activity across the property.
"Enhancing Indigo Sky Casino's IGT Advantage deployment with IGT's Resort Wallet and IGTPay modules will truly differentiate our gaming experience in Oklahoma and give our guests access to the industry's most user-friendly cashless gaming technology," said Melanie Heskett, Indigo Sky Casino general manager.
"As the demand for cashless and contactless payment technologies accelerates in nearly every sector, Indigo Sky Casino is pleased to be an early mover in this space by partnering with our long-time growth partner, IGT."
IGT currently operates in over 100 countries across a number of segments including gaming machines, lottery, sports betting and digital.
