GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Joe Pappano, CEO, Sightline

The technology developed to run cashless transactions has improved markedly over the past 10 years. Sightline has been at the forefront of that development and its new CEO, Joe Pappano has spent his entire career preparing for this moment. With 29 years in the business, Pappano changed jobs recently when Sightline reorganized its executive structure and received a substantial investment from a private equity company active in the payments arena. Pappano explains how the company is now poised to move cashless payment in the gaming industry into the mainstream. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros in the Sightline offices in Las Vegas in December.
