Light & Wonder, Inc. has announced the first installation of its brand-new RAPIDPLAY system, an innovative cashless solution, which was introduced at Crystal Bay Casino in Crystal Bay, Nevada. RAPIDPLAY has already been approved to launch in Nevada, with the iconic property becoming the first venue where the company has debuted its cutting-edge payment option. RAPIDPLAY Arrives in Las Vegas, As Cashless Continues to Gain Popularity Thanks to RAPIDPLAY, players may now access their funds directly at slot machines or personal mobile devices rather than withdraw funds in cash, reducing friction, strengthening responsible play and anti-money laundering guardrails, and making for a more streamlined experience overall. Using a QR code, players may instantly transfer their funds and avoid the hassle of using a separate app or a loyalty card, with RAPIDPLAY delivering a more convenient player experience directly on the gaming floor and adding meaningful value for operators. Light & Wonder President & GM of Global Systems Muthu Palanichamy said: “The first installation of RAPIDPLAY marks an exciting milestone for Light & Wonder as we continue to bring innovative payments technology to casino floors. We’re proud to collaborate with Crystal Bay Casino to debut this solution and deliver a faster, more seamless experience for players while creating meaningful value for operators.” Both Companies Welcome the Technology’s Implementation Commenting on the opportunity, Crystal Bay Casino GM Eric Roe added: “At Crystal Bay Casino, we’re always looking for innovative ways to enhance the guest journey. Being the first casino to deploy RAPIDPLAY reflects our commitment to embracing new technology that adds convenience for our guests.” Cashless technology has long been a divisive technology, with some arguing that it invades player privacy. However, Las Vegas has been opening up to the technology, seeing it as another meaningful way to attract high rollers and also give players a more streamlined and focused experience. The technology also allows for real-time monitoring of problem gambling and can prevent self-excluded players from participating in gaming.
