Golden Entertainment to Launch Cashless Gaming

Casino and route operator Golden Entertainment has partnered with Marker Trax to begin rolling out the Marker Trax “cashless marker” solution to its Las Vegas casinos and taverns.

Branded “Quick Play,” the cashless option will debut at Arizona Charlie’s Decatur, and will roll out at Golden Entertainment’s other casinos and taverns soon thereafter. Players will be able to use Quick Play to easily access cash advances electronically.

Quick Play is powered by Marker Trax technology which interfaces with Konami Gaming, Inc.’s award-winning Synkros casino management system to seamlessly issue, record, manage and track players’ cashless advances and electronic balances.

“Marker Trax and Konami have created pioneering technology that is bringing our exclusive Quick Play program to market,” said Steve Arcana, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Golden Entertainment. “Quick Play will improve the player experience by allowing our casinos and taverns to issue cashless advances quickly and conveniently.”

Guests will be able to sign up for Quick Play either online or through an app and access their advance balance from any gaming device at Golden’s properties. The advance will then be available as players play different machines through Golden Entertainment’s loyalty program, True Rewards.

“We are thrilled to partner with Golden Entertainment, leaders in the gaming industry, to introduce the Quick Play system utilizing the Marker Trax technology,” said Charlie Skinner, chief operating officer of Marker Trax. “This customized platform was developed to support the company’s mission to enhance the player experience.”

“Golden Entertainment has long prioritized guest experience and convenience, which is clearly seen here through its leadership with Quick Play’s launch,” said Tom Jingoli, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Konami Gaming. “The organization is leveraging top cashless technology available through Marker Trax and Synkros, to ultimately benefit players across its portfolio.”

True Rewards allows players to earn and redeem points at 140-plus locations. Current members can sign up for Quick Play using their True Rewards account and new members can sign up at any Golden Entertainment casino or PT’s Tavern.
