PPayline
How it works

Win on the machine.
Spend at the grocery store.

Five stages, ~$75 from machine to wallet to merchant to master report — every dollar traceable, every event in the audit chain, no double-entry between Payline and AXES.

Stage 02

Redeem at the Payline kiosk

Player walks to the Payline kiosk. Payline asks AXES: "what is this voucher worth?" AXES confirms. Receipt prints, audit chain appends.

Win

The session AXES knows about

A player sits down at MCH-014 — a Goldfinger Multi-Game at Quick Stop #4. They play for 38 minutes. AXES records every spin: $312 handle, $237 in payouts, net $75 in their favor. The session ends, the voucher prints.

None of that is new to AXES operators — that's exactly how AIMS works today. What's new is what happens next.

Redeem

The Payline kiosk talks to AXES

The player walks to the Payline kiosk. They scan the voucher barcode (or enter the number on the keypad). The Payline kiosk software asks AXES: "is this voucher valid, and what is it worth?" AXES confirms in under 200ms — voucher V-8302-4419, $75.00, machine MCH-014, time-stamped.

A receipt prints. The audit chain appends a tamper-evident hash. The player chooses how to take the money: load the Payline card (issued by a sponsor bank) virtually on their phone, grab a physical Payline card from the dispenser, or tap-to-pay onto a card they already have.

Payline

Funds land on the player's phone

Payline asks the sponsor bank (the card issuer) to create or top up the player's Payline balance. Funds settle from the operator's FBO ledger. The whole call chain — issuer + bank + KYC — runs in under three seconds.

Twilio sends the player an SMS with a one-tap link. They open the Payline wallet PWA in Safari. Their balance is right there. No app store, no download. The card is ready for any Visa terminal anywhere in the country.

Spend

Anywhere Visa works

The player taps for gas. They buy groceries. They pay for an Uber. Every swipe returns 2.4% interchange (Durbin-exempt — the Payline card sits below the $10B issuer threshold). The operator keeps a portion. The master keeps a portion.

Some players never spend the whole balance. 8% historical breakage means $6 of every $75 voucher converts to pure margin. The float on the FBO earns 4.5% APY on top.

Settle

Location + master get paid

At end of day the Mutha Goose master report runs at the location. Payline's parser ingests it, reconciles it against the audit chain, and computes the settlement: $1.30 to the location operator, $0.50 to the master, $0.30 to operations and reserves.

The sponsor bank sweeps the location's share to their bank account via same-day ACH. The master's share consolidates across all locations. The audit trail is exportable to PDF + CSV for the regulator. Done before the location operator unlocks the door the next morning.

What's inside

Every layer of the floor, in one place.

Built by operators, for operators. None of this is a Tableau report retrofitted with a logo.

Get told what to do

The dashboard doesn't just report — it recommends. Hold drift, lapsed players, cassette risk, machines drawing too many service calls. The next action is always one click away.

Service tickets, automatic

Hopper jam, door tamper, paper out — every hardware event from the floor becomes a ticket with severity, parts, and repair time. Before the operator notices, the tech is dispatched.

Player loyalty, finally

Win streaks. Lapse warnings. VIP arrivals. The same loyalty intelligence Caesars and MGM run, built for skill-game operators who never had it.

Cashless payout in 3 seconds

Player taps the kiosk, gets a card on their phone. No cash drawer, no cassette breakage, no cap on the receipt amount. Visa works everywhere.

Audit chain built for HB 353

Every event hashed, chained, append-only. Prosecutor-grade. Designed against the bill text — not retrofitted after.

Cmd+K to anything

Jump to any location, machine, or player in two keystrokes. Your operations team will use this every minute of every shift.

One screen per role

Master sees the fleet. Location operator sees their box. Player sees their wallet. Three audiences, three dashboards, one stack.

Hardware that just installs

USB stick → boot a kiosk → first dollar in 30 minutes. No on-site IT, no driver hunting, no operator getting a screwdriver out.

Agnostic by design

Plug in your best partner.
Swap them tomorrow.

Every integration sits behind a thin interface. Swap the sponsor bank or issuing partner with a single config flag and the rest of the stack doesn't blink.
