Coin ConneXion History
Coin ConneXion has been providing route management software solutions for many years. Founder, President and CEO Dave Jensen began developing custom software in the early 1980's. The first route management system was written in 1986 for Dean Schroeder of Musivend Enterprises, located in Jensen's home town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In 1989, South Dakota introduced state-monitored video lottery, and there was a huge demand for route management software from area operators. In 1992, Louisiana entered the video poker arena and Jensen's software was again in demand. In 1993, Coin ConneXion was launched to provide route management solutions to amusement operators across the nation and around the globe.
