Not only can’t you cash out these apps but the apps are basically charging for zeros. They give players the option of buying and playing $10,000 chips for $3.99 or you can get “value” instead by buying $1,000,000,000 chips for $99. Gameplay is the same in both just with more zeros
And according to the article those $99-type whales are elevated into the "high-rollers" areas where the amounts gambled for are larger... leading to a similar amount of playtime at "higher stakes" only because of digital zeros.
$3.99 to make 100 spins at fake-$100 each, vs $99 to make 100 spins at fake-$10,000 each. (numbers totally made up, btw)
Sure, but I'm asking if a physical casino could operate without cash out being an incentive? Say you get a certain number of chips for free each day you come, and then you can pay for more chips.
Probably with some market downsizing. It’d essentially be an arcade but with slots. The appeal might be to use large denomination machines, like with the apps - lots of zeros
