GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Joe Pappano, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Worldpay Gaming

When was the last time you wrote a check or pulled out cash to pay for anything? Right, I thought so. But if you’re a casino player, that’s how you roll, which eliminates a wide percentage of the younger demographic. So it’s imperative that the casino industry—both online and land-based—figure out a solution to payment processing. Joe Pappano has been involved in gaming payments for almost 30 years and understands what the consumer wants and what regulators will allow when it comes to depositing and collecting cash from casino clients. He spoke to GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October 2019.
