AGS, NEXGEN TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCE CONTRACT WITH MORONGO CASINO FOR FAST CASH™ MOBILE TABLE GAME CHIP TRANSACTION SOLUTION
AGS and NexGen Technology announced that Morongo Casino Resort & Spa (“Morongo Casino”) near Palm Springs, Calif. is implementing 40 NexGen Fast Cash mobile chip devices, a quick and easy way for players to buy chips at table games without having to touch cash or visit an ATM.
AGS has partnered with NexGen to distribute the Fast Cash solution to its customers as part of the AGS suite of table games and table products. The convenient solution is fully wireless, enabling players to stay comfortably seated at their favorite table game, where they can securely use their debit card to purchase chips through the Fast Cash wireless mobile device.
NexGen Technology President and Chief Operating Officer David Balmer said, “We are thrilled to be in partnership with AGS on placing Fast Cash, the right solution for the right time. It’s convenient for players, allowing uninterrupted gameplay while reducing the risk of contact with bacteria and viruses. And it’s easy for casino operators to implement, with no connectivity to a gaming system required.”
AGS Senior Vice President of Table Products John Hemberger added, “It’s been exciting to work with NexGen on placing Fast Cash at Morongo Casino. By providing convenience for the player and ease of installation, we are confident that demand for Fast Cash will increase as casinos seek to add more cashless, contactless solutions.”
With the Fast Cash solution, players do not need to register or enroll. They simply insert their debit card into the Fast Cash unit to purchase chips quickly and easily. An integrated printer provides player and dealer receipts.
Morongo Casino Chief Operating Officer Richard St. Jean said, “Fast Cash offers our players the convenience of being able to quickly buy chips without having to leave a table game to walk to the cage, an ATM, or one of our kiosks. During the Fast Cash trials, our players clearly appreciated the simplicity and speed of the system, which aligns with Morongo’s history of employing state-of-the-art technology to enhance our gaming experience.”
awager’s live-stream solution brings physical slot machine games online, delivering an authentic casino experience remotely. Today, awager proudly announces the launch of its latest product version with Loto-Québec. Building on two successful years with awager’s second product version, this latest release introduces an advanced solution that brings the realism of the casino floor to players’ devices, offering an even more immersive experience through awager’s enhanced technology.
This product launch features awager’s unique “Casino-in-Casino” solution, part of a suite of offerings designed to deliver real-time, physical casino experience. A dedicated studio has been built on the Casino de Montréal floor.
This product version aims to bring the most authentic online casino experience yet. With a multitude of camera angles, real-time player engagement, full machine interaction, 4K video streaming with minimal lag, and full sound capture, players can enjoy an immersive session that captures the spirit of the casino. Additionally, a 3D video simulation was created, allowing players to “walk through” the Casino de Montréal when they enter the awager lobby, providing a true-to-life ambience for a realistic experience.
This launch strengthens a partnership with Loto-Québec that began in 2022, when awager’s second product version first captivated players. With its third version now live, awager and Loto-Québec are set to continue their successful collaboration, elevating digital casino gaming for players across Québec.
Warren Steven, GM of North America for awager: We are proud to work alongside Loto-Québec and to provide the province’s players with the most advanced and exciting casino technology on the market.

The Canadian market is a key strategic market for awager in North America, and it is a privilege to work alongside Loto-Québec and provide its customers with this exciting new experience.
François Hardy, Senior Director of Products and Innovation at Loto-Québec: At Loto-Québec, we are always looking for new and exciting ways to entertain our players. We want to be able to provide them with the latest technology and gaming on the market.
