Published

on

 

Sightline Payments announced the planned launch of its mobile loyalty platform, JOINGO, at Indigo Sky Casino & Resort in Wyandotte, Oklahoma in Q1 of this year.

Leveraging JOINGO’s seamless integration with the IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system, the Indigo Sky branded mobile app will feature mobile marketing tools that give patrons a unified experience from the convenience of their iOS or Android devices, enhancing the experience for all GO Rewards Club members.

Owned and operated by the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, Indigo Sky boasts one of the largest casinos in northeastern Oklahoma. Its casino floor features over 1400 gaming machines, various table games, and a bingo hall. The resort includes two hotel towers and an RV park, and its Creekside Bar & Grill offers the area’s only golf simulator.

In 2021, Sightline Payments announced a partnership with IGT to provide solutions to aid in the deployment of cashless gaming technology through IGT’s suite of systems innovations, including Resort Wallet with IGT Pay. They recently expanded the partnership to include Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform, JOINGO. The launch of the JOINGO mobile loyalty solution at Indigo Sky Casino & Resort will be the first product launch for Sightline with IGT following these announcements.

With Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform, Indigo Sky will be able to enhance customer engagement with modern, mobile-driven marketing. The platform integrates with Indigo Sky’s casino and nongaming management systems, allowing the property to deliver automated, real-time marketing messages to guests’ mobile devices with personalized GO Rewards Club activations. Guests will be able to use the Indigo Sky mobile app to virtually check in for drawings or promotional contests, eliminating the need to stand in line at physical kiosk locations to do so.

“We’re always looking for new ways to enhance our guests’ experiences, and Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform helps us deliver an integrated mobile app solution that meets the demands of today’s customer. Guests want to do everything from their mobile device and launching our app will give them this everyday convenience while expanding our abilities to offer more personalized marketing promotions,” Melanie Heskett, General Manager of Indigo Sky Casino & Resort, said.

“Mobile engagement solutions meet customers where they are, and the Indigo Sky mobile app will deliver the same seamless mobile-first experience that customers have come to expect in their everyday lives. Adopting mobile solutions like Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform helps casinos modernize their customer experience while enhancing their marketing capabilities,” said Kirk Olson, Senior Vice President, Mobile at Sightline Payments.

Indigo Sky is also planning to integrate its mobile app with IGT’s Resort Wallet product and the IGT Pay solution at a later date.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely

Matt Zamroźniak

Chief Executive Officer

Prime Skill Games Inc.
