Greektown Casino-Hotel Launches Two New Guest Loyalty Technologies
Detroit’s Greektown Casino-Hotel, a JACK Entertainment portfolio property, announced the launch of two dynamic technologies: GT Connect and the Greektown Mobile App. Together these innovations will simplify the guest experience, allowing guests to earn rewards, view promotions, request vehicles from valet, pay for meals and much more using a Virtual Players Card on a smartphone.

They also can use it to pay for meals with comps at any casino food and beverage venue.
