Casino Gambling in Nevada is, of course, a huge part of the state and each year countless people flock to the casinos to engage in the fun and action. As such, even though times are hard economically, we’re still seeing new innovations and new places to gamble, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is a new casino which has recently announced it will partner with Cantor Gaming, who will provide the brick and mortar casino with a race and sportsbook, including their revolutionary eDeck mobile gaming service.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is the newest and hottest casino to hit the strip, pairing “stylish design with an adventurous and welcome spirit.” The resort boasts 2,995 rooms over 8.7 acres of land, 100,000 square feet of which is the elegant casino. When we say new that’s exactly what we mean. The Cosmopolitan will be first open on December 15th, and is currently running promotions for stays over the New Years Eve weekend.

The exciting part of this casino for gambling fans isn’t so much the hotel and resort itself, but rather their partnership with Cantor Gaming. Cantor is a very big player indeed, being part in over $140 Trillion worth of financial transactions each year. What Cantor offers isn’t just a solid backing, however, but is an innovative new approach to gaming that will see wagering become even more accessible and enjoyable in brick and mortar casinos.

The most exciting of these innovations is eDeck, Cantor Gaming’s mobile gaming device. Marketed as “a casino in the palm of your hand,” this revolutionary device allows users to enjoy wagering on races, sports or other casino games from the comfort of the casino bar, restaurant or other regulated area. Security is ensured by Cantor’s long history of managing financial transactions, and the handheld wireless gadget is set to change the face of gambling as we know it.

One of the coolest features on offer is In-Running Wagering, which allows users to wager on the outcomes of events during the event itself. This can mean wagering on which team wins, as is traditionally done, but it can also mean wagering on many dynamic things, such as in professional football if the current field goal will be successful or not. This up-to-date minute-to-minute style of wagering is an exciting advancement in sportsbook technology and a must-have at any casino.

It’s pretty cool that technology like this is being so actively pursued, and it looks like considerable effort has gone in to make it just right. It seems very fitting that the modern and sleek Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas would embrace such ground-breaking technology, and we’ll have to wait and see what other cool new products and services appear.
