International Game Technology Plc has attained Nevada regulatory approval for its Resort Wallet carded cashless module, part of its casino management system, according to a press release.

The module enables casinos to give patrons the option of a reduced-contact, safer cashless slot gaming experience.

The cashless module enables players to use a loyalty card to transfer cash into a secure digital wallet from either the casino cash desk or any resort wallet-enabled slot machine. Players can insert their PIN-protected card into the slot machine, apply those funds to their game play and cash out to their secure digital wallet at any time. They can also move a portion of their funds from the slot machine to their digital wallet while printing a ticket at the slot machine for the balance.

A variation of the resort wallet solution includes cardless cashless, where players tap their smartphone on a slot machine or table game to card in. They can then access their cashless wagering account, load cash into the account from either the casino cashier, kiosk or slot machine, then transfer funds between slot machines onsite, as well as between a casino's properties.

In addition to slot play, patrons can access the funds in their resort wallet cashless wagering account for table gaming, sports betting and at retail points-of-sale.
