Digital payments innovator Koin has appointed Scott Carcillo as its chief commercial officer.
The newest addition to the rapidly growing Koin team, Carcillo will lead the company’s expansion into the gaming industry and overall market reach, focusing on macro-level business development strategies and fostering strategic partnerships.
Carcillo is a veteran of the gaming and payments industries. While CIO for Wynn Resorts, his teams led the revenue management charge, opened the company’s Macau property and its expansion, and architected the technology and related experiences for Las Vegas’ Encore property. He established a reputation as an innovative leader and business strategist who understood operations and how to lever technology.
He also served as CIO for Merchant Link (later purchased by Shift4), senior vice president of customer solutions for FreedomPay LLC, and chief payments officer for Shift4. Carcillo and his teams demonstrated an aptitude for introducing new and transformative technologies to the markets they served while helping to expand the client portfolio and deliver exceptional experiences to consumers.
“Scott joining the team marks a pivotal moment in Koin’s journey. His expertise will leverage our current achievements, and help propel us towards even greater success in the digital payments arena. His addition is a significant stride in our mission to revolutionize market experiences while expanding our global footprint. This marks the next chapter for Koin, as we continue our pursuit of excellence and innovation in the digital payment sector,” said Gary Larkin, president of Koin.
Cashless payments innovators Koin and Marker Trax, both helmed by CEO Gary Ellis, have hired Mark D. Hemmerle as their chief legal officer.
As the two sister companies continue to introduce their groundbreaking cashless technology to more markets and operators around the country, Hemmerle fills a vital need in helping company leaders navigate and advise on important legal and compliance matters.
Through two decades of executive leadership and compliance counsel roles with Shift4Payments, Vantiv/Worldpay, Hyatt Grand Victoria Casino, and others, he has built a reputation for helping companies align on-the-ground tactics with long-term strategies and implementing effective compliance protocols.
“Mark’s expertise lies uniquely at the intersection of emerging technologies and navigating complex compliance issues – aptitudes that align perfectly with the innovations we’re implementing in the industry. Koin intends to continue leading the conversation on the evolution of cashless payments, and we’re fortunate to have Mark on board in pursuit of that goal,” said Koin President Gary Larkin.
Hemmerle attended the University of Cincinnati, earning a degree in economics. He earned a law degree from the University of Denver College of Law, and subsequently pursued graduate work at the university’s School of International Studies. Additionally, he completed the University of Nevada, Reno’s Executive Development Program in gaming, and has presented at numerous industry events, including the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States, the Global Gaming Expo, and others. Hemmerle is also a Trustee on the Board of the International Association of Gaming Advisors.
“Revolutionizing the gaming landscape, our unique cashless casino credit product stands out as an unparalleled accomplishment in the industry. Mark’s unique combination of gaming expertise and legal acumen makes him a key figure in guiding our company through this phase of exceptional growth and the national deployment of our new B2C brand Moolah Play,” said Marker Trax President Charlie Skinner.
Table Trac Inc., the developer and provider of CasinoTrac, a casino management system with more than 280 casino customers in 13 countries, announced a new partnership with gaming fintech disruptors, Koin Payments and Marker Trax, to introduce its KTMobile app with an integrated cashless solution, for its customers.
The technology blend becomes “Cashless in a Box,” providing a feature rich, regulated digital wallet for all casino/resort spend activities, providing the casino operator with the ability to extend their branded guest experience, outside the casino and off property.
Chad Hoehne, President of Table Trac Inc, said: “When we filed for our first patent on what has now become KT Mobile in 2018, I wanted to bring the entire player rewards experience from the game screen to the player’s phone. Embedding Koin & Marker Trax financial services functionality with the reliable and proven CasinoTrac CMS, is the realization of my original vision.”
In approved markets, Cashless in a Box not only packages the mobile, gaming, and financial technology but, also provides a launch plan with marketing, player education support making it easier for operators of all sizes to enjoy the benefits of cashless operations, with less headaches.
“Gaming customers want the functionality of being able to handle all their transactions from a single touchpoint, the same way it’s available in nearly every other facet of their lives. Koin and Marker Trax have been at the forefront of bringing consumers the digital solutions they want in the gaming space, and we’re proud to work with partners like Table Trac who share that vision,” said Koin President Gary Larkin.
“Cashless is no longer the industry’s future; it’s the present. Companies like Table Trac are embracing this technology and all-in-one functionality for the ultimate benefit of their customers, and of the industry as a whole,” Marker Trax President Charlie Skinner said.
Cashless payments innovator Koin Payments has announced a partnership with Northern Nevada’s Baldini’s Casino – making it the first property in Northern Nevada to introduce a flexible cashless wagering experience.
Baldini’s, a casino in Sparks, has long been a favorite of locals and visitors alike. The company was an early proponent of digital solutions and now, through its partnership with Koin, will be able to offer patrons cashless options unique to the region – an important milestone in the evolution of the cashless sector.
Koin’s advanced mobile wallet provides casino customers with the ability to load funds to their mobile wallet from a wide variety of sources, including credit or debit card, bank transfer, ACH, Venmo, cash at retail locations, and more. Included in its many convenient customer features is an intuitive spend tracking function, together with the ability to send or receive funds to or from a friend directly through a mobile device. Koin’s presence at the casino will allow Baldini’s to offer its customers a full-feature digital payment experience.
“We are extremely grateful to Baldini’s for choosing Koin to provide its digital payment solution and are pleased to partner with them in transforming gaming payments within Nevada. With its loyal local customer base, Baldini’s was a natural place to introduce this technology in the Reno-Sparks area. In working together, to promote the values of cashless gaming, we believe we generate increased player loyalty while enhancing the customer’s casino experience,” Gary Larkin, president of Koin Payments, said.
With Koin, patrons can utilize a digital wallet to fund and access their accounts in any way they choose. At the same time, operator partners like Baldini’s are provided with a complete account management system, and a reduction in their retail transaction fees.
“Digital payment solutions are the next step in the evolution of gaming, and we’re excited to work with Koin to integrate those solutions for our customers. We’re a favorite with the local market because we recognize what our customers want, and then deliver it,” said Baldini’s owner J. Grant Lincoln.
