As the industry leader in cash transactions in the casino industry, Everi has been developing its cashless systems for years. Everi kiosks are omnipresent on the floors of casinos around the world, and its e-wallet system makes the transition to cashless almost seamless. Darren Simmons has been with Everi for 15 years and has taken the lead in the company’s financial transactions division. He explains how the company has developed trust from casino operators and that goes a long way to establishing a relationship for cashless transactions. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at Everi headquarters in Las Vegas in May.
