The D casino announced it now offers what amounts to ATMs at its table games, and the Internet sort of lost its mind.
Is it wise to use a credit or debit card to withdraw cash at an ATM at a casino – specifically, will that hurt my credit score? SUBSCRIBE NOW $3 for 3 months. A new casino ATM device makes getting more cash just a little too easy. “in Las Vegas will be $4 plus 2 to 3 percent depending on the casino.” By that fee-structure, withdrawing $500 in.
In a news release, The D shared it has “officially debuted a new automated cashless gaming system, ACS PlayOn, for all table games.”
The release continues, “Offering a convenient experience for guests, PlayOn is a modern technology that allows players to purchase casino chips using a debit card, eliminating the need to use an ATM machine or cashier’s window between hands.”
Cue the mind-losing.
Here’s a look at the kerfuffle-causer in question.
Reminder: PIN stands for “personal identification number,” so please don’t say “PIN number.” It’s like saying “please RSVP.” Really annoying.
Simply put, when you’re at the table (roulette, craps, blackjack, whatever), you can use your debit card to get chips.
That’s pretty much it.
Yes, there’s a fee. We know how you are.
The fee is $4, plus 2.5% of whatever you withdraw. So, for $100, that’s a total of $6.50, or about the same as an ATM fee. (Reminder: ATM stands for “automated teller machine,” so please don’t say “ATM machine.” Sorry to call you out, news release, but common mistake.)
It’s worth noting the PlayOn machines don’t accept credit cards. They also won’t let you exceed your debit card’s maximum daily withdrawal limit.
This seemingly straightforward service has already been in place at Palms since December 2019. The system will also be available at Golden Gate (same owners as The D) and The Strat in the next few days (as yet unannounced).
News of the system’s debut at The D seems to have hit a nerve.
Most of the feedback on the Twitters relates to the belief people will gamble more than they typically would because the cashless system makes money (or chips) too readily available.
There was also some discussion of the fee being too high. At The D, players can withdraw $50-$3,000. The 2.5% fee on $3,000 would be $75, presumably.
We didn’t read the fine print. We were drunk. Full disclosure: We still are. You’re not our mom.
Our brilliant response to most of the criticism of this system was, “It’s an ATM, just closer.”
A good number of people expressed that in the heat of the moment, a player having to stand up and walk to an ATM might give them time to ponder their life choices and avoid the impulse to throw good money after bad.
Interestingly, few mentioned people often win in casinos when they throw good money after bad. Glass half empty, much?
The controversy about “tabletop ATMs” in casinos isn’t new. When Palms got its system in 2019, the news coverage ranged from balanced to outright damning.
All we know for sure is if we’re playing blackjack and out of cash but want to double down, now we can do it without leaving the table (and without borrowing the money using a “marker,” or casino credit).
We’d love to hear your thoughts about this, as the amount of negative feedback was genuinely surprising, and we tend to know everything.
Another disclosure: We work in digital marketing at Fremont Street Experience. The D is a member casino of that organization. Our opinions are our own.
Here’s the official site for PlayOn, the cashless casino table games system we expect is here to stay.
To clarify, I am speaking of AC since that is the only place I frequent. But every Casino has ridiculous surcharges. The lowest I have seen is 5.99, and most are much higher, many 8 or 9 or close to 10. And they also put limits like a max of 500 per withdraw so if you need more you have to pay the surcharge multiple times. One of the worst ones I have seen was the 5.99 one, because it was a 100 max per withdraw. It seems like a total ripoff.
Out of all the businesses that would want you to easily withdraw money without thinking too much about it, I would think casinos would, because if you are withdrawing money most of it will probably end up with the casino eventually. So I don't understand why their ATMS are so expensive?
Which I guess is my question; Is there some sort of state law (seems like something NJ would do), where ATMS within casinos have to have withdraw limits and a minimum surcharge fee, probably with the theory that it would dissuade problem gamblers from withdrawing too much?

A 6% ATM surcharge is ridiculous. $5.99 fee with $100 max withdrawal? No way.
Can you go to the cage and get a cash withdrawal from a CC for a more reasonable fee? Assuming you have the cash in your account you could make a CC payment online right away to avoid any interest (IIRC, cash withdrawal from CC has no grace period and interest starts to accrue immediately.)
That $1 @ Casino Royale is a good thing to know. I usually bring all of my gambling money with me in cash (typically under $1K) but if I need cash in LV I know where to go. They've got low limit table games there, too.

I have never tried that, but I imagine you can, thanks, thats probably a decent idea if I need a withdrawal while there.
That also made me think of online gambling. Now I just realized I can deposit anything on my online casino account of the respective casino and just withdraw cage (most of the online casinos work on smartphones or have apps so you can just deposit whatever you need onto your online gambling account while there). I feel stupid that this just now occurred to me? Doesn't this make way more sense than credit or ATMS since no fees or interest?
For every one person who walks away from the high fee, there are 10 more that are willing to pay it, even at $100 max withdrawls.
I have always wondered if the casino owns the ATM's, or if the ATMs are owned by independent companies who in turn pay the casino a floor space fee. Either way, I am sure the casino is profiting from the ATM being there, and of course, not to mention the increase in action they will get from the new cash.
I was traveling on business and unexpectedly came to have time at a casino late at night. I quickly burned through the $300 I had on me, so I am ashamed to say, I paid a $40 fee to take a $1000 cash advance on my CC. It did not feel good, but in the end, I rationalized it was only one more lost craps bet. The other option would have been to leave the casino and try to find a bank ATM, since this was before smartphones and ATM locator apps. In the end, the $40 was probably cheaper, other than of course, just leaving early.

I'm sure different folks have different experiences, but in my experience, when you withdraw from a casino ATM, it just gives you some paper which you then take to the cage for cash/chips.
Casino Atm Fees
The Casino Royale tip is great for on-strip, I've also found that I get as low as $3 (regardless of amount but I think up to $500, so <1%) from ATMs so long as it's with my bank. In practice, I've only done this once Downtown where my bank's ATM was just a block or so from Fremont St.
That doesn't include, of course, any charges/fees that the credit card assesses in addition to the $3.
This is basically the rule of a captive and hooked audience. Much like the druggie needs their fix, so does the gambler need their cash. And the casinos know this all too well.

When I see most withdrawals, they often are for $100 and they slap a good $5 fee on them usually. I've seen a withdrawal for $40 once...wtf?_entrance._ATM._-_Margaret_Island%2C_Budapest%2C_Hungary.JPG "Casino")
I give myself great shame if I use a casino ATM, because that's a sign that I'm wanting to risk more than I did in the first place. I've used an ATM once in a casino in Vegas while actively gambling. Being stuck about $300 in a poker game and not wanting to quit after 2 hours. Pulled out $400 because screw that fee. Fortunately, I won 95% of the $300 back over the next 8 hours...lol I try to give myself great shame in using an ATM in a casino since it usually means I am wanting to risk more than I wanted to risk in the first place.Now with knowing about the casino ATM at Casino Royale, I carry about half of my trip budget with me, and give myself the option to make a withdrawal of the other half if needed. I feel weird carrying more than $500 or so. Fortunately I have only done that twice in 8 trips this decade with that poker game being one of them.
Las Vegas Casino Atm Fees
IN Mexico if you use an ATM from your own bank, you won't get charged a fee most times (never if using a debit card). If you use one from a different bank, the fees range from under $2 to $4 typically.
Of course, in Mexico there are few banks and the bigger ones operate nationally. The smaller ones are regional, but cover several states. So finding your bank's ATM is relatively easy even when you travel.
Most ATMs have a withdrawl limit of 5,000-6,000 pesos (around $380-450 or so). For many banks this is a daily limit. Though you can withdraw as much as you want, without paying a fee, from either credit or debit accounts, at the bank teller inside. See how widespread banks are, and they operate from 8-9 am til 4-5 pm.
