Second-generation gaming executive Noah Acres runs Acres Manufacturing with his father, John. The company says: EVERY casino in the world uses at least one of its inventions. Its most famous tools: the system that links slot machines to create progressive jackpots and another that allows casinos to track slot machine players by using loyalty cards.

Noah and Jonathan talk about the future of loyalty programs, the move toward cashless gaming, and how to dive down into the deep data to rate players’ abilities. Also along for the ride: Oliver Lovat, a past podcast guest who advises casinos on development and real estate. 

Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, Lisa Melmed
