LAS VEGAS – (Nov. 17, 2025) – Koin, a leading digital payment solution innovator for the gaming and entertainment markets, announced today the deployment of its next-generation digital payment experience for guests at Casino Pauma.
Koin’s delivery to Casino Pauma of advanced digital payment solutions is the first in San Diego County and provides a unique opportunity for enhancement of the overall gaming experience.
Koin’s technology seamlessly integrates with Casino Pauma’s gaming floor, allowing players to utilize their winnings anywhere Koin is accepted in the casino and beyond. Players don’t have to take payout slips to a kiosk or cage for redemption since the funds are instantly credited to their Koin Pay smartphone-based app.
“Casino guests enjoy a better gaming and overall casino experience by using our technology,” said Patrick Schmit, vice president of product integration and business development at Koin. “The rollout at Casino Pauma demonstrates the return on investment our innovative technology offers for gaming properties across the country.”
Casino Pauma, which opened its doors in May 2001 following the signing of a compact in 2000, has built a reputation for offering a welcoming environment, with more than 800 slot machines and 12 table games. The property is a key player in the region’s vibrant casino industry.
“We’re excited to be the first in San Diego County to bring guests this digital gaming technology,” said Oscar Garcia, general manager of Casino Pauma. “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.”
