Crane Payment Innovations (CPI), a Crane Co. company, announced a partnership with Viejas Casino and Resort in Alpine, California, which adds mobile payment methods as a result of the casino’s decision to upgrade their entire slot floor with SC Advance banknote validators and Easitrax Connect software.
“Viejas Casino is committed to delivering a cutting-edge player experience,” says Brian Wedderspoon, vice president of gaming for CPI. “We’re pleased that they have chosen to partner with us to be one of the first U.S. casinos to enable cashless payment at the gaming machine.”
“Our adoption of VIP Mobility will provide additional convenience and increased transaction security for our guests,” said Erich Hans, CFO and director of treasury for Viejas Casino & Resort. “By allowing our players to bypass traditional funding sources, such as ATMs and/or the cage, we have significantly improved optionality and expediency. We are excited to be the first casino in Southern California to offer this new benefit to our guests, and we are confident that it will provide a material enhancement to their overall gaming experience here at Viejas.”
Easitrax Connect is the latest software platform from CPI, providing live data and alerts, and enabling the acceptance of mobile payment at the machine.
With this new technology platform, operators can increase revenue, efficiency and customer satisfaction by enabling mobile-based cashless payment at the slot machine via the SC Advance bill validator for more cost-effective and secure transactions.
