Innovative Alliance

SYNKROS is a casino management system, known for its reliability, and provides digital logins for players at slot and table games. Konami Gaming Inc. is a subsidiary of the world-renowned entertainment developer, Konami Holdings Corporation.

Resorts World Las Vegas will utilize its Mobile App, a JOINGO by Sightline creation, whereby guests can access an e-wallet and pay for all their activities at the resort. Patrons can manage their e-wallets through the Sightline Play+ digital payment technology. Sightline Payments is a leading digital payment provider and mobile app developer, with Play+ being their cashless, contactless solution for gaming.
Jingoli added:
“SYNKROS continually powers leading-edge convenience and integration to guest touch points throughout the resort, and all of it is taken to a new level in partnership with Sightline,”
The Sightline payment solutions partnership with SYNKROS shows how collaboration with worthy peers is of the utmost importance, as seamless integration is the result.
High-Tech Ecosystem
Joe Pappano describes the solution as an ecosystem and, in his opinion, this collaboration will be a hallmark for all in the industry who wish to provide cashless technology solutions. This virtual golden nugget will make Resorts World Las Vegas the world’s most technologically advanced gambling premises.
Resorts World Las Vegas is the first integrated resort on the Las Vegas strip in over ten years and the pioneer for the full SYNKROS tools suite. Its next-generation casino is a mammoth 117,000ft², with its own 17,000ft² entertainment zone and over 3500 rooms and suites.
The convenience of effortlessly transacting on a virtual platform is undeniable when visiting such an enormous facility. The Play+ app enables guests to pay and play at the resort’s multitude of shops, restaurants, bars, and its casino without cash.
Leading The Pack
In an era where consumers favour convenience, ease of access, and speed above most other things, this announcement should inspire other land-based casinos to follow suit. The online gambling industry has experienced such favourable growth in the past two years that its brick-and-mortar counterparts need to be innovative to grow and solidify market share.
The only question is: “Who will be next in the 'virtual payment' line?”
