International Game Technology will launch its Cardless Connect Mobile Technology solution throughout Station Casinos properties by the end of 2017.
The solution, which enables players to participate in Station Casinos’ MyBoardingPass’ loyalty programme with a simple tap of their smartphone on a slot machine card reader, is currently undergoing a test phase at a single Station Casinos property.
Following the successful test phase, Station Casinos plans to implement Cardless Connect at two more locations in Las Vegas later this year with the remaining properties to follow shortly after.
“We are committed to continuously delivering new benefits to our My Rewards Boarding Pass that bring value and convenience to our new and existing members,” Staci Alonso, executive vice president and chief marketing & innovation officer for Station Casinos, said. “IGT‘s Cardless Connect technology adds meaningful value to the STN mobile app by allowing guests to use their phone to card in at their favorite slot game if they prefer a digital experience.”
The solution requires players download the STN app from the App Store or Google Play Store, sign in and tap their phones on the card reader to “card in” to a slot machine.
