Sahara Las Vegas Says It Is First Strip Casino to Take Crypto Gambling Deposits

Sahara Las Vegas says it is the first casino on the Strip to accept crypto deposits for gambling, letting customers fund play with three digital assets while keeping chips and vouchers denominated in U.S. dollars.

Deposits can be made at a casino counter in Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) or Litecoin (LTC). Customers receive dollar-denominated chips or gaming vouchers, and the service carries a 5% fee.

Winnings are paid in dollars rather than cryptocurrency.
