They say cash is king but the actual bills that make up real cash are more germ spreaders than money royalty. Omer Sattar and his payment processing company Sightline have developed procedures over the past several years to migrate cash money to and from the casino floor via electronic financial transfers. This process will eliminate the nasty cash from the hands of customers and employees alike and encourage safer and healthier transactions. Sattar says that these kinds of transactions bring other benefits to the customers, operators and regulators that will make the entire gaming experience a more satisfying and transparent event. Sattar spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from his home in Las Vegas in early May.
