IGT Expands Cashless Gaming Momentum To Oklahoma

International Game Technology PLC announced today that the company is expanding the momentum of its cashless gaming technology deployment in the U.S. state of Oklahoma, which has the second-highest concentration of gaming consoles per capita. Indigo Sky Casino & Resort in Waiandot, Oklahoma, is the latest casino to join the cashless gaming revolution through a multi-year agreement with IGT and the phased launch of resort wallets and IGTPay modules of IGT ADVANGE Casino Management System.

Indigo Sky Casino will combine resort wallet technology with IGTPay solutions to provide customers with convenient one-step access to funds from outside sources such as credit and debit cards, bank accounts and e-wallets.

"Enhancing IGT ADVANGE deployment at Indigo Sky Casino through IGT's Resort Wallet and IGTPay modules will truly differentiate our gaming experience in Oklahoma and give our customers access to some of the industry's most user-friendly cashless gaming technologies," said Melanie Heskett, general manager of Indigo Sky Casino. "With accelerated demand for cashless and contactless payment technologies in nearly every sector, Indigo Sky Casino is pleased to become an early mover in the field by partnering with long-time growth partner IGT."

"In deploying IGT's Resort Wallet and IGTPay, Indigo Sky Casino will benefit from many of the benefits of operating a cashless gaming ecosystem, with guests benefiting from additional options and conveniences on the casino floor," said Ryan Reddy, senior vice president of global product management for IGT's VLT, poker, systems and payments division. "The launch of Resort Wallet and IGTPay in Oklahoma, one of the top tribal gaming markets in the United States, reflects IGT's continued leadership in the digital payments space and the diversity of IGT Advantage casino management systems and modules."

Indigo Sky Casino plans to start rolling out IGT's full gaming solution in 2021. The tech stack includes "Card Cashless" and "Card Cashless" gaming options. With Card Cashless, players can leverage their real-life GO Rewards loyalty card to insert it into the slot machine to make money transfers, play money, withdraw cash, and check account balances. In the Card Cashless model, Indigo Sky Casino customers will have the option to safely and securely complete all payment-related tasks using the mobile app of their accommodation.

In both configurations, Indigo Sky Casino players create PIN protected cashless Wagering accounts that can fund their accounts on casino cages or slot machines, or through external sources such as bank accounts, credit cards, or debit cards. Funds from Cashless Wagering accounts will remain secure for the next play session or asset visit, and players can also transfer funds between slot machines on site or withdraw funds into bank accounts. IGT's experienced Payment team supports Indigo Sky Casino to manage all aspects of payment-related services, including contracts with payment service providers, money management, fraud/risk management, and player support.
