Cashless gaming is spreading, with Station Casinos now testing tap to pay Apple Pay right at the machines at Durango after rolling it out to its taverns, and we debate whether removing every barrier between you and your bank account goes too far. There is also real progress on the Tropicana traffic mess coming out of the airport, with a new cheaper flyover bridge proposal that county leaders say they can actually pay for. F1 finally settled its class action over the canceled first night practice for just over $3 million, though refunding everyone up front would have been the easy fix. Plus Slotapalooza took over Circa, the Neon City Festival is confirmed to return for F1 weekend, Casino Royale already bumped its $3.99 hot dog to $4.99, Primm is reopening with no resort fees, and Fontainebleau looks to be reworking its high limit slot room. Our favorite singing street performer also narrated a guy busting his knee messing with him, which you have to hear. Let us know in the comments if tap to gamble at the slots is a step too far.
My biggest issue with tap-to-gamble is if there’s a surcharge on your card. If so – hell no.
