Koin on Monday announced the deployment of its next-generation digital payment experience for guests at Casino Pauma in Pauma Valley, California. Koin’s delivery of advanced digital payment solutions is the first in San Diego County.

Casino Pauma reached an agreement with Koin in October.

“Casino guests enjoy a better gaming and overall casino experience by using our technology,” Koin Vice President of Product Integration and Business Development Patrick Schmit said in a statement. “The rollout at Casino Pauma demonstrates the return on investment our innovative technology offers for gaming properties across the country.”

Koin’s technology will integrate with Casino Pauma’s gaming floor, allowing players to use their winnings anywhere Koin is accepted in the casino. Players will not have to take payout slips to a kiosk or cage for redemption since the money is instantly credited to their Koin Pay smartphone-based app.

Casino Pauma, which opened in May 2001 after the signing of a compact in 2000, has more than 800 slot machines and 12 table games.

“We’re excited to be the first in San Diego County to bring guests this digital gaming technology,” said Casino Pauma General Manager Oscar Garcia. “We strive to be first movers in using innovation to streamline and enhance our casino experience in this highly competitive marketplace. The Koin rollout definitely is the next step in our guest experience evolution.”

Casino Pauma is owned and operated by the Pauma-Yuima Band of Mission Indians.
