Good to Know

• Sands has posted at least nine technology vacancies in Dallas centered on casino management systems.
• Casino gambling remains prohibited in Texas; legalization would necessitate legislative backing followed by voter approval.
• The company holds approximately 1,000 acres of land in the vicinity of the former Texas Stadium location in Irving.

Las Vegas Sands is establishing a technology hub in Dallas dedicated to casino software, despite the fact that casino gambling is still not permitted in Texas.

Over the past month, the company’s career portal featured at least nine Dallas-based openings. These positions include data engineers, application architects, lead software engineers, technology support specialists, and a Product Owner role, with the latter offering a salary range between $95,000 and $134,000.

One job description mentioned working on a casino management system “from inception through delivery,” while another noted the “design and implementation of our casino management system (CMS) from inception to launch.”

Dallas Tech Jobs Add Weight To Texas Casino Plans

Casino management systems serve as the operational backbone of a casino floor, managing tasks such as tracking player loyalty programs, monitoring slot and table game data, handling accounting and regulatory reporting, and integrating with food, beverage, and hotel systems.

Sands intends to utilize the software developed in Dallas for its international properties, including the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and its various Macau locations, such as the Parisian Macao, the Venetian Macao, the Londoner Macao, and the Four Seasons Hotel Macao.

Ron Reese, Senior Vice President of Global Communications at Sands, stated:

“We chose the Dallas-Fort Worth area due to its high concentration of tech talent, strong infrastructure, and a vibrant innovation ecosystem bolstered by top-tier universities. The region’s North American connectivity, business-friendly environment, and cost-effective operations support sustainable growth and effective partner collaboration.”

A company spokesperson clarified to local media that Sands does not have any active projects in Dallas at this time.

These two perspectives are not mutually exclusive; a Dallas-based software center can support global operations while simultaneously strengthening the company’s case for job creation should the push for casino legalization in the state legislature resume.

This strategy is supported by other initiatives. Sands acquired roughly 1,000 acres near the former Texas Stadium site in Irving between 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, as of 2026, the company employs over 80 registered lobbyists in Texas, spent an estimated $5 million to $10 million on lobbying during the 2025 legislative session, and established the Texas Sands PAC in 2022, which has reportedly pledged $9 million through the 2026 election cycle.

Texas A Hard Target

Legalizing casinos in Texas remains a significant challenge. It requires a constitutional amendment that must pass both legislative chambers with a two-thirds majority before receiving statewide voter approval. In 2023, a casino-related amendment fell eight votes short of the required threshold in the House. While Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has noted a lack of sufficient support among Senate Republicans, Gov. Greg Abbott has expressed a greater willingness to consider destination resort casinos.

The Dallas software office remains a viable investment for Sands regardless of whether Texas laws change. However, should legalization occur, having a local team already experienced in building the company’s casino systems could significantly accelerate the transition from regulatory approval to operational status in Irving.
