Light & Wonder Installs RapidPlay for the First Time at Crystal Bay Casino

Light & Wonder has completed the first installation of its next-generation cashless payment solution RapidPlay at Crystal Bay Casino in the state of Nevada. The company said the system has received approval for use in Nevada and that its rollout to other jurisdictions is planned, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals.

With RapidPlay, players can securely access their money at the slot machine using their personal mobile devices. The system runs on open banking technology, and players can make an instant funds transfer by scanning a QR code. No app download or loyalty card is required.

Muthu Palanichamy, Light & Wonder's Global Systems General Manager, said the first installation of RapidPlay is an important milestone for the company. Palanichamy said they will continue to modernize payment technologies on the casino floor.

Eric Roe, General Manager of Crystal Bay Casino, said the casino is open to new technologies that enhance the guest experience. Roe said being the first casino to deploy RapidPlay reflects this approach.
