Detailed Review
History and Founding
Pavilion Payments traces its roots to 1995, though the company website notes approximately 20 years of operation, suggesting a predecessor organization or significant rebranding in the mid-2000s. The current entity is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has evolved into a leading payments infrastructure provider exclusively for the gaming sector.
Business Model
Pavilion Payments operates a transaction-first model, generating revenue through processing fees on the billions of transactions it handles annually. Its proprietary ACH network is marketed as "gaming’s most powerful," allowing fast and secure electronic funds transfers. The company’s integrated ecosystem reduces friction for patrons while helping operators improve security, compliance, and revenue.
Key Products and Platforms
The company’s product suite includes VIP Mobility, an on-premise mobile funding application for smartphones; VIP LightSpeed, an online platform connecting land-based and digital gaming with e-check capabilities; Tap2Play, a contactless Apple Pay solution for electronic gaming machines (EGMs); and full-service Payment & TITO Kiosks for cashless deposits and ticket-in/ticket-out transactions. Additionally, Pavilion provides traditional cashless mobile and e-check services, all underpinned by its powerful ACH network.
Market Position and Competitive Landscape
Pavilion Payments positions itself as an end-to-end payment ecosystem serving both physical and digital gaming environments. Its focus on compliance and security—including adherence to AML and Title 31 requirements—makes it a trusted partner for highly regulated operators. The company competes with other gaming payment providers and has strengthened its standing through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, such as the 2026 agreement to acquire DiTRONICS Financial Services and a compliance partnership with Syntrove.
Leadership and Recent Developments
In January 2026, Diallo Gordon became President and CEO, succeeding Dan Connors, who moved to Executive Chairman. Gordon previously held leadership roles at Passport Technology, Phi Gaming, Everi Holdings, and Aristocrat Technologies. The executive team also includes Lori Lawson as Chief Operations Officer and Kaiu Pettigrew, who was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer in mid-2026. The company has not publicly disclosed a CFO, CTO, or CCO as of the latest information.
