Global Payments to provide cash access suite to casinos

The Emerald Princess in Brunswick, Georgia; Spirit Mountain Casino in Grande Ronde, Oregon; Jackpot Junction Casino in Morton, Minnesota; and Eastside Cannery in Las Vegas, Nevada, are expected to use the VIP LightSpeed suite.

These casinos have signed contracts to broaden their scope of services and to offer Global’s suite of products including VIP Preferred check-cashing services, PlayerCash @dvantage credit and debit card cash advance services, and ATM Cash @dvantage services.

VIP LightSpeed is an internet-accessible, PC-based platform that provides cash access services for traditional and electronic check cashing, ATM check cashing, credit and debit card cash advances and credit reports.

In addition, VIP LightSpeed is expected to provide high-speed processing of cash access transactions, reduction of risk associated with check-cashing and cash advance services, and a full spectrum of management and legal compliance reporting tools.

Dean DeCristoforo, senior vice president of Global Payments Gaming Services, said: "These new relationships enhance Global Payments’s position as a leading supplier of cash access products and services. We are thrilled to have been selected by these gaming establishments and believe we offer cutting-edge products that help our customers operate more effectively and build patron loyalty."
