As acceptance grows for bitcoin, which users can purchase with cash through online exchanges, the Kings have become the latest big-name organization to take it for payment. Online game site Zynga and Overstock.com are just two of the recent converts.

The Kings have sought to be among the most tech-forward teams in the league, allowing fans to load paperless tickets onto their smartphones, among other measures.

The team has a growing number of tech-oriented fans and we think (bitcoins are) yet another way to make the experience for those fans more seamless and hassle free, - Kings President Chris Granger said.
