Testing the waters of digital, Foxwoods Resort Casino is working on a new online gambling platform for both smartphones and computers.
The games, however, don’t pay cash. They allow players to win discounts at the casino.
So while the games don’t technically constitute online gambling (which is not yet legal in the state of Connecticut), players can spend $4.90 to $199 to buy “virtual credits” that help the player advance in the games, The Courant reports.
Those credits can become reward points for merchandise at Foxwoods retail stores, restaurants, spas, theaters or hotel.
“Launching the first simulated online casino in the U.S. with our partner GameAccount Network is another way for our guests to enjoy all that Foxwoods gaming has to offer,” Foxwoods CEO Scott Butera says. “We think this cutting edge technology will enhance the overall guest experience and allow them to bring the excitement of Foxwoods with them wherever they go.”
