Time to book a trip to vegas and use some BTC there. Grin
That's really interesting but am not sure that they are going to be paying their customers in bitcoin though, that would have made it just perfect. I am sure that very soon, the other casinos are going to start accepting bitcoins and other cryptos as well.

In Las Vegas gambling is a key attraction, and in order to stay competitive and survive, they need to adapt to the changes throughout the world. A key example as you have shown in this thread is bitcoin support, giving them a substantial height over their competition. Overall this change is beneficial for bitcoin and investors as it shows that bitcoin is still growing and continuing to change the world one day at a time. It also introduces high rollers to bitcoin as they see it as an option which I believe would be beneficial for bitcoin.

They might notice how popular online casinos now and they bet that those who plays online will still prefer to play at physical yet they knew that chances of earning is much possible when crypto or bitcoin being used. The question will be what kind of system they used to be able to play in btc.
I think someone really needs to go there and play so that all our questions can be answered.  Grin. Unfortunately I'm not State side so I can't try it myself. Hurry someone needs to volunteer right now. hehehe

Right, online bitcoin gambling is steadily climbing every year so maybe that's one factor for them to readily accept bitcoins in their casino. I play online but I prefer to go to land based casino because of the atmosphere. But if I see the bitcoin is an option then I might not go online again and just go to my favorite land based casino and spend my bitcoin to play. Good strategy for them.

Oh that's so cool! Does that mean they will pay winners their money in Bitcoin too? Or do they accept only Bitcoin deposits? If I am in Las Vegas someday I will make sure to pop in there haha  Grin
of course they should do ,, when we make a deposit using bitcoin ,, otherwise we have to get payment with bitcoin premises ,, I've been impatient to try bersudidi there and feel the sensation of lasvegas

The more bitcoin get accepted everywhere, by everyone, the brighter future we will have.
Las Vegas bitcoin addition in a casino is a big move, as Las Vegas is the number one and top known place for gambling following Macau and others.

If more casinos start accepting bitcoin in those 3 places then it will most probably a big plus+ for bitcoin and its future.

but we are talking here on physical one which its a good thing to see that they really integrated crypto or adopt it into their business.They do such step somehow late

It's not that late. Bitcoin is still young and far from properly regulated.
I like the picture. It's a wonderful advertising for Bitcoin (and yes, it gives an edge to the casino against the competition too). Just imagine, the rich boys and girls of America (and all over the world too) get to go to Vegas sooner or later. And such a sign can give an idea to some of them. Some may be smart businessmen and interesting things can come out. Superb! We're on the right track!
You do have a point which this is indeed a good sign that they are already gradually recognizing it to be part of their business.They know how to adopt the trend and only people who are aware with bitcoin or crypto would really benefit but this would increase awareness and curiosity into those people who didnt even know on whats bitcoin.For now if they would like to experience on using bitcoin in a physical casino then its only possible only in vegas but sooner or later expect more and more land based places will consider and adopt too which you wont really need to travel just for the sake of experience.Its too costly Cheesy

Actually, I'm amazed that it took them long enough to integrate BTC into these land-based casinos. We all know that there are countless online casinos available to us that uses BTC as their main option for payment. It mind-boggling that casinos in Las Vegas didn't follow through with it as soon as possible. That will certainly increase their profit and maybe, just maybe, attract more people into their establishments.  

Maybe this has something to do with US laws regarding cryptocurrency?  Roll Eyes


We might able to see countless online casinos but we are talking here on physical one which its a good thing to see that they really integrated crypto or adopt it into their business.They do such step somehow late which i do have the same believe that this has to be done or in relation with US laws towards cryptocurrencies but not they do already took into consideration to be part of it which is an advantage on both casino owner itself and on the convenience of the players too.

Wow, it is cool and nice having bitcoin gambling on the land base, I think they did not an intention to have exposure on this gambling site since 3 years had passed I presume that now this gambling site more well known over the country because there's a lot of gamblers who used bitcoin.

Why not, many people from US are involved in crypto they probably like to use bitcoins for live gambling in real casino.
Well I'm far from Las Vegas, I hope there will be some casino in EU that will start to accept bitcoins soon, its something great to try.
Well, it seems like here I am from in the third world so far from Las Vegas.
Yes but three years ago do you know how far you would of went with 10 btc back then and compared to now?
I think they would view that same 10 btc today as a high roller but back then they would of viewed them as a small time gambler using an experimental form of payment.

I still think there is some kind of verification of source if anybody want to make big bets with bitcoin. Most of the government had that anti money laundering rule for bitcoin related transactions.

However casino are great place to increase bitcoin adoption, great exposure which might increase demand for bitcoin. Hope they will also allow withdrawals in bitcoin... Wink

I checked this thing and turns up that they are already accpeting bitcoin withdrawals, but the really sad thing was that they announced it in the end of 2014, and since then there weren't a lot of media attention to the fact that they are accepting bitcoins and they don't promote it in public which is bad as it could  have driven more bitcoin investors.
On the other hand it's a cool thing to have because if they are accepting bitcoin for 3 years in a row it seems that they actually have traffic.


This is good example how important marketing is. We talked about this, how land based casinos will start to accept bitcoins, but that already happened and we didn't even know.
You say good, if they work for 3 years probably they have good traffic. Why not, many people from US are involved in crypto they probably like to use bitcoins for live gambling in real casino.
Well I'm far from Las Vegas, I hope there will be some casino in EU that will start to accept bitcoins soon, its something great to try.

That's a big news! I am actually travelling to the states in August and would love to give this casino a try. I do have a question though, how is the casino going to pay our rewards? Will that be in FIAT or in Bitcoin itself?

Every time an outlet begins accepting bitcoin as payment method, I get more and more optimistic. I am anxiously awaiting for the time when I can use bitcoin more as a currency than as an asset.
Yeah you are right online casinos are easy to find the game of your choice and land base casinos have no much choice of games, but one thing is obvious that the real fun is in land base casinos and not in online gambling. Everyone has his own choice to visit online casinos or regular casinos. You can enjoy regular casinos with your friends.

This is indeed old news, but I've found another article that mentions another casino accepting Bitcoin, The D.

https://www.gamblingsites.com/blog/vegas-casinos-accept-bitcoin-64554/

Though, you can pay with Bitcoin directly at the tables, the have a Bitcoin ATM in their halls.
Doesn't appear that you can directly buy chips with Bitcoin, but I could be misreading it.
Regular casinos are going to accept bitcoin because the gamblers will be safe during playing and there will no threat to their money of robbing and looting. This is good decision for only gamblers. Those who do not gamble and have nothing to do with casinos do not interested in this news because they don’t to waste their money and time in casinos and gambling.

I suppose that can be used for small money laundering. Like someone going with his undeclared bitcoins, playing low risk bets with bitcoin (like black or red) and cashing out less than $10,000 dollars. If that is done by a group of people and/or in different casinos it can become a considerable amount.

Why do they need to go to land based casino for money laundering purpose? I think it will be so risky for them to do so, the casino might have a special term to avoid money laundering so I think there is no chance for any people to use land based casino for money laundering.
