Casino credit is only for the high rollers, right? The ease of sitting down at a table or slot and getting a marker can’t be shared with the common gambler. Oh, but now it can. The new Marker Trax app conceived and tested at Ellis Island casino in Las Vegas is a revolutionary way to get cash into the hands of gamblers even in jurisdictions where casino credit may not be permitted. When combined with the sophistication of Konami Gaming’s Synkros system, Marker Trax brings the speed, simplicity and convenience of a marker to every player on the casino floor. Joining GGB Editor Frank Legato in July to talk about Marker Trax are Gary Ellis, the owner, Ellis Island Casino, Hotel & Brewery, Charlie Skinner, the COO of Marker Trax and Tom Jingoli, executive vice president and COO of Konami.
