Emerald Island is first Henderson casino to launch Marker Trax cashless gaming system
The Emerald Express Cash, a new cashless gaming system, debuted Friday at the Emerald Island Casino in downtown Henderson, Nevada, in a move that intends to simplify the drawing of funds from customers' bank accounts for a line of credit for markers to gamble.
Customers can download an app, available to Android and iOS users, and register with a phone number and an email address. They then link their bank account to the app and, after registration, are told if they are approved and offered a line of credit. If qualified for the program, the maximum charge is 1%.
To use the system, players put their rewards card into a slot machine and are then able to download funds directly onto the machine. Once the round is over, winnings are sent to the player’s Emerald Express Cash fund.
