Pete Mastroianni is taking on Ragu in the pasta sauce wars and trying to get Taylor Swift to record one of his songs.
At least that’s what it feels like for the New York lawyer and co-inventor of a would-be iCasino game called Match 52.
“The challenge is to get it onto a platform, and that’s hard to do,” Mastroianni said. “How do you get Light & Wonder or IGT or someone like that interested in a little game? It’s like being a songwriter, or inventing a pasta sauce — how do you get it on the shelves? It’s a challenge.”
And it’s one Mastroianni is tackling head-on, bringing his game to Las Vegas conventions and, most recently, to the SBC Summit North America conference in New Jersey in May.
