US.- Rio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas has signed a multi-year agreement with payment company Passport Technology. The venue will use Passport’s proprietary FinTech solutions and services for its gaming floor. Dreamscape acquired the property from Caesars Entertainment in 2019 and will take over operations later this year.
Kevin Sweet, chief gaming officer for Rio Hotel & Casino, said: “Passport provides a compelling and full- encompassing solution set that fits our innovative and guest-centric approach to the Las Vegas experience. We selected Passport’s payments, data processing and cash automation solutions and are looking forward to a collaborative and successful partnership to support our resort transformation.”
Diallo Gordon, chief product officer and chief marketing officer for Passport Technology, added: “The selection of our full suite of services by the Rio is an output of the innovation, diligence and commitment to service by the company as well as our breadth and reach of products. There are multiple innovative solutions within our suite that support and advances Dreamscape’s vision of an approachable, deeply connected, and integrated resort.”
Jason King, chief revenue officer, Passport Technology, commented: “We will continue to be aggressive in driving the industry and pushing the envelope with our products and services within North America. We are grateful to the Rio in being trusted as their innovation and transformation partner throughout the resort and eager to contribute to the Rio’s success.”
