Resorts World Las Vegas Set to Present Unparalleled Gaming Experience When Resort Opens on June 24
Resorts World Las Vegas is set to present an unrivaled gaming experience with the most innovative technology in the industry when the resort opens on June 24.
With 117,000 square feet of gaming space featuring over 1400 slot machines, 117 table games, a dedicated poker room and 30 poker tables, plus high-limit areas and a sportsbook, the next-generation casino will redefine the traditional gaming experience by introducing the most technologically advanced casino and gaming operations all within one integrated resort.
“Our vision at Resorts World Las Vegas has always been to provide first-of-its-kind experiences across every element of the resort, including gaming. Through our partnerships with best-in-class gaming technology partners, we will offer our guests a fully integrated experience, not just on the gaming floor, but across the entire resort. The Resorts World Las Vegas mobile app will better serve patrons by providing loyalty and personalization based off their preferences for guests enrolled in our Genting Rewards program,” Rick Hutchins, Senior Vice President for Casino Operations at Resorts World Las Vegas, said.
Resorts World Las Vegas will be the first Las Vegas casino where consumers can utilize a digital login and cashless wagering experience at both slots and table games. Managed through Konami Gaming’s SYNKROS, the resort’s casino management system providing ultra-high reliability and industry-leading architecture, Resorts World Las Vegas has the ideal environment for integrations across best-of-kind solutions, ultimately giving the highest ease of use and endless functionality, while providing the opportunity to deliver a completely seamless cashless wagering experience via GamingPlay, the resort’s digital gaming wallet, and card-less logins for Genting Rewards loyalty members.
The vision for GamingPlay is to provide seamless capabilities to load their wallet in three ways, by depositing cash at one of the NEO Kiosks provided by NRT Technology or at the player services desk or by enrolling in Sightline’s Play+.
“Launching cashless gaming solutions at the first major Las Vegas casino opening in a decade presents a tremendous opportunity for Sightline to further the digital transformation of the consumer experience in gaming. Resorts World Las Vegas will spotlight the impact that payments innovations can have on the integrated casino resort to the entire gaming industry. We are proud to launch the Resorts World Las Vegas Play+ program alongside this historic opening,” Joe Pappano, CEO of Sightline Payments, said.
“When Resorts World Las Vegas and Konami Gaming first launched an official partnership at the start of 2020, we set out to reinvent the hospitality experience in Las Vegas by bringing seamless interaction, leading-edge convenience, personalized engagement, and catered service to every guest touchpoint. The opening of Resorts World Las Vegas marks a significant historical moment for our city and the global gaming industry, and Konami is incredibly excited to be part of delivering unforgettable entertainment and seamless experiences to guests in entirely new ways,” Tom Jingoli, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, said.
“Our vision of connecting the guest experience couldn’t be more fitting for this partnership between Resorts World Las Vegas and NRT. Enabling both a physical and digital solution set of financial services, marketing and loyalty, rewards, enrolment, electronic markers and intelligent table games platform. Not to mention the most reliable and secure infrastructure we have driving all of our technology. Connected and backed by key operational software stacks such as AML tracking and management, financial service intelligence and award winning Backoffice platform we are proud to shape the future with Resorts World Las Vegas,” Michael Dominelli, President of NRT, said.
When the next-generation casino opens next week, guests will be able to test their luck at a variety of table games including blackjack, craps, roulette, and more. Resorts World Las Vegas partnered with Genesis Gaming to provide the digital table games experience with RFID bet tracking, Perfect Pay at baccarat tables, and Ticket-in-Ticket out (TITO) at the tables.
“We are delighted to provide Resorts World Las Vegas with our industry leading Bravo Pit table game management system. The system features PJM3.0 RFID and vouchering technology, as well as the ability to accept cashless payments at table games. The visionary design and construction of this magnificent resort showcases the latest and greatest industry advancements and underlines Resorts World’s ongoing commitment to innovation,” Randy Knust, President of Genesis Gaming Solutions, said.
The expansive casino floor will also feature a poker room that will offer an elevated and technologically advanced gaming experience for individual and tournament play. Resorts World Las Vegas guests will also be able to experience the thrill of sports-wagering in a unique environment with live entertainment and delicious pub fare at Dawg House Saloon & Sportsbook. IGT PlaySports technology will power Resorts World Las Vegas’s retail sportsbook and its state-wide mobile betting app.
“IGT will help the Resorts World Las Vegas team maximize the full potential of their PlaySports-powered retail and mobile sportsbooks, engage sports fans, and capture growth opportunities within one of the highest-volume sports betting markets in the US. Powering sports betting at a Las Vegas Strip casino is another milestone achievement for IGT PlaySports and a gateway for introducing the most widely used sports betting platform in the U.S to the global epicenter of gaming entertainment,” Enrico Drago, Senior Vice President of IGT PlayDigital, said.

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.
On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.
In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.
As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.
Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.
A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.
“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
