Built for the Best

From the launch of Illinois video gaming to Chicago

As a member of the Prairie State Gaming launch team in 2012, Chris helped grow the Illinois Video Gaming industry into America’s largest distributed gaming operation.

Monte Cristo Gaming brings that experience to a small number of partners. We focus exclusively on high-performing establishments that align with our standards and vision, so each one gets a level of attention, responsiveness and player experience that traditional route operators often cannot match.

Our selective partnership model is not built around volume. It is built around accountability.

We believe exceptional service, operational execution and long-term performance can only be achieved through intentional partnerships where expectations can be consistently exceeded.

The best operators deserve the best operator. That is the standard we built this company on, and it is the one we hold ourselves to at every location we serve.
