“Being involved with both companies from the beginning and, with decades of industry experience between them, they’ve had a monumental impact thus far; I have every confidence they’ll flourish in their new leadership roles.”

Skinner has been with Marker Trax since its founding and previously served as the organization's COO.

He commented on stepping into his new role as President by saying: “We’re bringing more and more operators and players into the cashless fold every day, and I’m excited to continue to work with Gary as our two companies move forward together.”
