Eco-Conscious Casinos: The Push for Sustainability in Legal Gambling

The push for sustainability in casinos that use huge amounts of power and give people open access to gambling has become a hot topic in places like Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Many casinos are now looking for solutions to become more eco-conscious when it comes to sustainable energy use. 

Other sustainability topics that also come up cover the population, for example, the prevention of underage gambling. If you are unsure about the at which you can gamble in your state or other states in the US, you can take a look at this guide to legal gambling age in the United States at

We are going to take a sneak peek at some of the corporate social responsibility endeavors casinos are carrying out to ensure they tick the right boxes when it comes to sustainability.

Solar Power Energy in Vegas

Las Vegas is also known as the city of lights. If you have ever seen the casino city from the air or at night when approaching the city via one of the interstate or U.S. Route highways leading into the city, the desert location glows from miles away. In fact, the city is so bright that astronauts have snapped pics of Las Vegas.

With all those lights, as you know, means plenty of electricity, which in turn causes pollution For this reason, there are a number of Vegas casinos that have built mega solar panel farms to meet sustainability goals as part of their corporate social responsibility strategy.

MGM Resorts International has a 100-megawatt system set up that feeds directly into several of its Las Vegas casinos. It’s quite an impressive setup that uses over 300,000 panels set up to the north of the city on 640 acres of land. 

Resorts World is another casino jumping on the solar power bandwagon and is said to power its gambling resorts solely on solar power. Mandalay Bay isn’t quite up to the standards of MGM or Resorts World at this time, but it does have a rooftop solar setup that provides its resort with 25% of its power.

Creating Live Casino Gaming Online

To reduce the number of people traveling to their casinos, some are using live dealer software so players can play from the comfort of their own homes. Take the MGM Resorts International example. The company made a deal with Playetch to fit camera rigs to roulette and other games that are on the casino floors of the company’s land-based venues. 

Players can now access Live MGM Grand Baccarat and Live MGM Grand Roulette games. Also,

has made a similar deal with Playtech, which brings a Live Bellagio Roulette table in the Bellagio casino to players’ mobile and desktop devices.

Sustainability Also Includes Preventing Underage Gambling

Although many of us see sustainability as saving power, we also have to look outside the realms of energy usage. Sustainability for the population is also important and that is why casinos in the US do everything they can to prevent underage gambling. 

Security at casinos train their employees to scan everyone walking into their establishments and snare those who look underage, asking them for ID verification. Also, the casino’s staff are trained to spot individuals on the casino floor who may be underage and request them to show ID.

On top of checking for underage gambling, US casinos are hot on the topic of responsible gambling. Employees also undergo training to spot those who may show signs of problem gaming habits. On top of this, there are self-exclusion programs in place. 

If someone voluntarily bans themselves from entering casinos in Vegas, the internal computer systems can flag these individuals when they buy chips. There are even some establishments that use facial recognition software!

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Casinos Are On The Rise

The US is just one country where

include both energy consumption and population sustainability solutions. Keeping underage gamblers out of casinos is not only law, but these businesses also don’t want to harm their brand name by encouraging or being too lax on the topic of underage gambling. 

However, when it comes to eco-friendly casinos, the main topic of conversation is how these large gambling entertainment complexes reduce power consumption or continue to use the same power consumption but by using sustainable energy. The most obvious solution for most casinos, especially those in the sunny desert surroundings in LAs Vegas, Nevada, solar power is currently at the top of the list.
