LAS VEGAS (Feb. 13, 2025) – Cashless solutions provider Koin today announced a new partnership with Emerald Island Casino in the Water Street Entertainment District in downtown Henderson, Nevada, a partnership marking a significant step forward in the availability of digital technology in the local resort industry.
Powered by Koin’s advanced payment solutions, Emerald Island customers will now enjoy more convenience and security in their transactions, with instant access to their funds through the Koin cashless program, eliminating the need for cash or traditional card payments.
“We’re bringing cashless solutions to more people and businesses than ever before, and the local, loyal customer base of Emerald Island makes it a perfect partner for this continued growth,” said Koin President Gary Larkin. “Cashless ecosystems allow for reduced cash management and payment processing costs, while providing an overall lift in gaming and retail sales, and we’re excited to help their customers realize these benefits.”
Introducing Koin’s payment solutions, the property is positioned to meet growing customer demand for frictionless, secure digital spend. As more casinos and entertainment venues embrace this functionality, the operational benefits are becoming more widely realized and embraced, giving early adopters like Emerald Island a competitive edge.
“Koin’s mobile payment solution was the best choice for us, as we continue making good on our commitment to being the center of Water Street’s entertainment and cultural scene,” said Tim Brooks, Emerald Island owner. “Its player enrollment system and gaming functionality reflect Koin’s commitment to enhancing the customer experience, aligning them directly with our own overarching focus.”
Emerald Island Casino is an iconic fixture in the Henderson Water Street Entertainment District, which has recently undergone a vibrant transformation. Known for embracing the needs of its local customers, the casino is situated at the heart of this booming district in downtown Henderson, which has expanded with new entertainment and dining options to cater to the growing community.
This move, too, is reflective of Koin’s continued innovation and expansion within the gaming and entertainment sectors. It secured reinvestment from Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and has strengthened several key partnerships, including a growing collaboration with sister company Marker Trax. Koin’s technology was further highlighted at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) event in Las Vegas in October of last year.
