A strong technology focus at the $5.1 billion integrated resort will help the UAE “redefine what gaming is for the rest of the world,” say executives.
Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah will feature smart tables across most games and will allow players to make payments via cryptocurrencies according to the resort’s Executive Vice President of Gaming Operations, David Patent.
Smart gaming tables use RFID technology to keep track of gameplay and monitor player activity. They will be installed across 80-85% of gaming areas at Wynn Al Marjan Island,
“Smart tables are great. They’re proven in Singapore and in Macau and a couple of other markets where they accurately record the customer’s bets,” said Patent during a session at the SBC Summit in Lisbon.
“They have better game speed, there’s fewer dealer errors and counterfeit chips are almost impossible. We can therefore reinvest more accurately and our accounting becomes quicker. There are so many advantages.”
Wynn Al Marjan, which is due to open in Spring 2027 as the UAE’s first casino, will also pioneer the use of crypto payment options for players and guests.
Crypto has been more widely adopted in the UAE than almost any other country in the world, with crypto casinos and crypto betting sites already proving popular among UAE players.
