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.

Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet is deepening its existing partnership with Stockholm-based game studio Thunderkick to launch the developer’s unique, engaging slot titles in Ontario.
The Canadian province is one of the most exciting regulated markets in North America, and the Ontario players will now gain access to Thunderkick’s full portfolio of highly acclaimed games via SkillOnNet-powered online casino brands such as PlayOJO, SlotsMagic, and SpinGenie.
Thunderkick is known for its independent, boundary-pushing slot games like Pink Elephants, Esqueleto Explosivo, and Beat the Beast and has established a strong reputation for creativity and originality in the iGaming space. The deal allows the studio to further expand its global footprint while giving Ontario players the chance to enjoy a fresh wave of premium content.
Ontario’s regulated online gaming market, which officially opened in 2022, has quickly become a key market for the iGaming industry, and SkillOnNet was among the first brands to secure licensing in the province. The expansion reinforces SkillOnNet’s commitment to delivering top-tier entertainment in regulated markets globally.
Jani Kontturi at SkillOnNet said: “Thunderkick has been a key partner of ours in other markets, and we’re delighted to bring their outstanding content to Ontario. This region is fast becoming a vital part of our operations, and we’re confident players here will respond just as positively to Thunderkick’s games as they have elsewhere.”
Mariam Dodosh, Account Manager at Thunderkick said: “We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with SkillOnNet and enter the Ontario market together. Our games have a track record of strong performance, and we’re excited to see them go live in one of the most dynamic new regions in iGaming.”
