US - Aristocrat and Sightline’s Blue Chip deal Sightline Payments has partnered with Boyd Gaming and Aristocrat Technologies to serve as the patron’s funding solution for the new cashless gaming offering at its Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, Indiana.
The new jointly developed experience represents a true, end-to-end digital cashless ecosystem. Patrons of Blue Chip Casino will be able to load funds electronically from a personal account of their choice, after which they can then safely and securely use the digital cash to make wagers directly on their favourite slot machines.
When done, any funds left on the slot machine can be optionally transferred back to their Digital Wallet to be used at another game in the casino. In future phases the solution will be expanded to include table games, restaurants, and a host of other amenities at Blue Chip.
