Sahara becomes first Las Vegas Strip casino to accept cryptocurrency for gambling

The Sahara resort has become the first property on the Las Vegas Strip to allow customers to exchange cryptocurrency for chips or tickets to use on the casino floor. The integration went live last month, with crypto payment options expected to expand across the Las Vegas casino market in the coming months. BurraPay deployed its cryptocurrency payment platform at the property in October , after the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) approved its system earlier this year.
