Coin-In uses social game rewards to get people into physical casinos

Coin-In has launched a new service that uses social casino games that drive foot traffic into brick-and-mortar casinos. It does so with a loyalty platform that keeps players engaged on the mobile devices and prompts them to cash in their rewards at physical casinos.

Los Angeles-based Coin-In recently rebranded itself, as it was formerly known as P4RC. When it debuted in 2013, P4RC had a service that used rewards to increase the frequency and duration of mobile game sessions. The new program competes with Playstudios’ MyVegas platform, which uses mobile games to offer rewards in MGM casinos and other gambling resorts.
