CPI wins Viejas Casino with cashless payment installation

Crane Payment Innovations (CPI) has entered a new partnership with Viejas Casino and Resort in Alpine, California. Viejas players can now employ 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, VP Gaming for CPI. “We’re pleased that they have chosen to partner with us to be one of the first US 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, Director of Treasury / CFO, 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.”
