Andrew Pascal is no stranger to gaming – on multiple platforms. As founder and chief executive of PlayStudios, a developer of social and mobile casino games, it took years of experience in Las Vegas integrated resorts and forays in slot machine innovation for Pascal to ultimately form the company in 2011.

Pascal’s career follows the Las Vegas renaissance in the 1990s. After working with his aunt and uncle, hoteliers Elaine and Steve Wynn, to start up The Mirage and other Wynn properties that transformed the Las Vegas Strip, he sought to change how slot machines were played. Experiences in hospitality and game manufacturing ultimately brought him to build products that exist where mobile and casino games meet.
