Pavilion Payments will be headed by its current leadership, while existing president Christopher Justice will take on the additional role of CEO.

The latest deal, which awaits regulatory clearance, is anticipated to close by the end of March this year.

Once the deal is completed, Global Payments will continue to strengthen Pavilion Payments’ payment acceptance offerings as a long-term ally.

Justice said: “The transaction positions our business to meet the evolving needs of the gaming industry and capitalise on the growth trends, especially in markets like iGaming.

“We are focused on creating unique player experiences for both in-person and online gaming.

“Customers can expect further focused investment in innovation and product development, bringing clients ever more advanced tools to support patron engagement and satisfaction, lift revenue and reduce friction.”

The latest deal comes shortly after Global Payments reached official commerce technology alliances with American sports teams, Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks.
