What if you could put money on your rewards card instead of carrying around a bunch of cash? Use it like a debit card at the casino with depositing and withdrawling. When you sit down and ask for chips you can tell the dealer X amount and they swipe your card and deduct the amount and give a receipt?

Thoughts?

Most casinos offer you the possibility to open a casino account. This is especially convenient for more serious players, since they dont then to have to carry a couple of grand around, also decreasing the risk of getting robbed. I have a couple of reallife live pokerplayers and some got robbed, even close to fairly respected casinos.

btw, i think this might be the wrong section for this thread...

I dont have a list. Just some examples:

Station Casinos
Wynn
MGM
Adria (i think)
Bellagio
.....

Basically every casino. They are not unhappy if you ask them that, since it shows them you are a reg.

This card system would also allow perfect tracking of profits and losses. This would be awful for many reasons. The biggest would be that the losing players would be forced to see the evidence.

Would this card be used in play? Instead of stacks of chips you have a keypad? I wouldn't want it just because I like being able to intimidate someone when they have to watch me take a pile off of them. And it's an easy tool to see what they have left and just how close to the end they are.

Get a line of credit at any casino or put front money up at the cage and they already do this.
