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.

XSOLLA STRENGTHENS COMMITMENT TO ATLANTIC CANADA’S GROWING GAME INDUSTRY WITH EXPANDED EVENT PRESENCE
Global Video Game Commerce Company To Support Industry Growth Through Panels, Workshops, And Community Engagement Across Atlantic Canada
Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today announced its participation in two major gaming industry events taking place across Atlantic Canada from June 3-5, 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting regional game development ecosystems and fostering industry collaboration.
Xsolla will participate in both Game Invest East and XP Game Connect Atlantic, joining developers, publishers, investors, and industry leaders for discussions centered on the future of game development, investment, and innovation in the local area.
At Game Invest East, held in partnership with Scaffold, Xsolla will contribute to conversations around funding, growth opportunities, and the evolving business landscape for game studios.
Featured on the panel titled “If You Can Make It Here,” Xsolla’s Manny Hachey, Senior Director of Developer Success, joins Kate Edwards, CEO and Principal Consultant of Geogrify, and Amir Satvat, Business Development Director at Tencent Games, founder of Always Supporting the Games Community (ASGC), and a 2026 GamesBeat Visionary Award honoree, to explore how new regions and new entrants can survive and thrive in disruptive times.
Hachey, a native of Atlantic Canada, was personally requested by Scaffold to represent Xsolla at the event — a homecoming that adds a personal dimension to the panel’s central thesis. Having built her career and made her mark in Germany’s games industry, she returns with a firsthand perspective on what it takes to leave, build something meaningful abroad, and come back with proof of concept.
Xsolla will continue its Atlantic Canada engagement at XP Game Connect Atlantic in Halifax on June 5. John Nguyen, Regional Vice President, Canada at Xsolla, and Ted DiNola, Developer Evangelist at Xsolla, will host a workshop titled ‘Full Picture to Fast Lane: Xsolla Ecosystem Overview & Live SDK 3 Integration’, providing practical insights and actionable strategies for developers navigating today’s rapidly evolving gaming market.
Nguyen will also host a panel titled, ‘What Does the Future of Game Development Look Like in Atlantic Canada?’ where he will be joined by industry experts, including Ryan Filsinger from Iron Fox; Shawn Woods, CEO at Alpha Dog and VP of Interactive Society of Nova Scotia; George Greer, Founder of Besszong; and Jade Yhap, President of Interactive NB. The panel will explore the region’s growing role in the global games industry and the opportunities ahead for studios, talent, and ecosystem partners.
“Atlantic Canada continues to emerge as an exciting hub for game development talent and innovation,” said John Nguyen, Regional Vice President, Canada, at Xsolla. “Xsolla is proud to support these events and contribute to conversations that help empower developers, build ecosystems, strengthen industry connections, and accelerate growth across the region.”
“Events like Game Invest East and XP Game Connect Atlantic are critical for building stronger connections across the games industry,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Atlantic Canada has a growing community of talented developers, creators, and industry leaders, and we’re excited to be part of conversations that help to shape the future of gaming in the region while supporting studios at every stage of growth.”
Through its participation in these events, Xsolla aims to deepen relationships within the Atlantic Canadian game development community while supporting knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and long-term ecosystem growth.
