Terance Bennett, founder of Paradise Gaming Development
Terance Bennett, a seasoned professional with decades of experience in the brick-and-mortar gaming industry, is now disrupting the online gaming sector. After sharpening his expertise by working in some of the most prominent casinos in the United States for over 30 years, he established Paradise Gaming Development to introduce a novel approach to digital gaming.
Bennett founded Paradise in 2021 to deliver a premier online gaming experience that rivals the best of Las Vegas. He envisions the company becoming the world’s leading provider of online casino-style games, offering a thrilling and distinctly American experience. To turn this vision into reality, Paradise intends to help gaming operators succeed by providing them with top-tier gaming solutions while creating an exceptional experience for their end-users.
Paradise stands out for replicating the fast-paced excitement of physical casinos in a digital format, allowing operators and players to experience an immersive and authentic gaming environment. With this, it’s bound to be synonymous with quality, innovation, and entertainment in the online gaming world, and the founder’s leadership is integral to making this happen.
Bennett ventured into the gaming industry by chance. As a college student in Atlantic City, he worked at a casino to help pay his tuition. At the time, he didn’t expect that this temporary solution to cover his expenses would turn into a full-fledged career. The hardworking man attended dealer school and began working as a craps, roulette, and blackjack dealer. Bennett has climbed the ladder, progressing from a frontline dealer to a manager. Over the years, he gained vast experience across various facets of the gaming industry, including marketing, slots management, and more.
Inherently curious and eager to learn, Bennett transitioned from a hands-on role in brick-and-mortar gaming establishments to executive positions. While assuming these roles, he recognized the limitations of traditional gaming environments. This ignited his desire to innovate. The rising popularity of online gaming presented an opportunity to do that, and Bennett seized it. The veteran founded Paradise Gaming, hoping to excite and bring creativity to the industry.
“I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur,” Bennett shares. “It was also my dream to use my experience to reshape the gaming landscape. While I was working for gaming establishments, I made sure to find ways to engage and excite players. With Paradise, I was able to deliver thrilling and innovative games.”
Since its establishment, Paradise has been committed to employing a scalable business model designed for rapid growth. The company specializes in developing, marketing, and licensing fully integrated business-to-business (B2B) online casino solutions for gaming operators. This translates to providing clients with the tools they need to create a truly American-style online gaming experience, which includes instant rewards, automatically triggered promotions, leaderboards, and more.
Paradise’s offerings enable operators to engage their players with dynamic, real-time promotions that increase player satisfaction and, in turn, retention. Operators can reward their players with free games, send personalized push messages, and track game data, delivering exceptional gaming experience.
Given his extensive professional experience, Bennett is driving the development of new and exciting games at Paradise. “I have this deep understanding of players’ experiences and the challenges that gaming operators face. This is why I can introduce innovations that address the needs of both parties,” he remarks.
Paradise currently focuses on integrating new features into traditional games. The company is developing fast-action versions of classic games like craps and roulette to increase the speed and excitement for players. The founder is also interested in adapting popular Asian games like pai-gow tiles placement games and tweaking them to appeal to the growing international market. In addition, Paradise works on unique versions of blackjack, including a “wild card 21” game designed to make it easier for players to reach 21.
It’s worth noting that while Bennett is committed to expanding Paradise’s presence in the online gaming world, he hasn’t forgotten his roots. One of his long-term goals for the company is to return to the traditional casino space and introduce new marketing strategies and game designs that will revitalize the physical gaming experience.
