Casino operations giant Everi has asked a federal judge in Nevada to dismiss a lawsuit that accused it of trying to thwart competition from platforms that gambling customers use to make digital payments.
Everi, which provides financial services, ATMs and slot machines to casinos, said in a court filing, opens new tab on Monday night that the lawsuit from digital wallet company Koin Mobile was “misguided” and “flawed” and should be thrown out.
Koin’s lawsuit accused Everi of violating antitrust law in a bid to dominate the emerging market for virtual wallets for gaming. Koin’s product — Koin Wallet — competes with Everi’s CashClub Wallet.
