Sahara becomes first Las Vegas Strip casino to take crypto chips
BurraPay is approved or authorised in six US states, a company spokeswoman says.
The hit
Sahara has become the first casino on the Las Vegas Strip to let players exchange cryptocurrency for chips or tickets, according to CDC Gaming. BurraPay deployed the system at the resort last month.
Why it matters
For bettors, it means another way to fund play, using Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin. The NGCB approved the system earlier this year; BurraPay says it is still working with regulators to address their concerns. BurraPay says it is in talks with tribal gaming commissions.
The record
| Strip first | Sahara began taking crypto chips & tickets via BurraPay |
|---|---|
| Regulatory status | Nevada Gaming Control Board approved BurraPay’s system earlier this year |
| State reach | BurraPay approved or authorised in 6 US states, per company spokeswoman |
What happens next
Watch for BurraPay’s next Nevada casino launches, plus any tribal gaming commission approvals as talks continue.
