US.- Operator Penn National has proposed to make Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, West Virginia, cashless. Members of the West Virginia Lottery Commission are considering the proposition.

Ken Greear, the state Lottery Commission Chairman said: “It’s just a matter of making sure the players do not have something that interrupts and or makes their enjoyment of the game more cumbersome or something that doesn’t work well.”

VP and general manager of Hollywood Casino at Charles Town, Scott Saunders, added: “I think the digital wallet and digital platform is the way many businesses are going, and we want to make sure we are a part of that moving forward.”

The games will be streamed live from the firm’s state-of-the-art studio in Pennsylvania. Various titles will be available, including Live Roulette, Lightning Roulette, Blackjack, Infinite Blackjack, Three Card Poker, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.
