Mike Abecassis
Owner/CEO
GameTime


Mike Abecassis is an innovative CEO with 25 years of experience developing new business models and turning them into successful businesses. He is a strong strategic thinker and team builder who enjoys turning problem companies into success stories and therefore has grown his business both organically and through acquisitions. Before taking on his role as CEO of General Vending and GameTime, Mike built several amusement and entertainment companies, then later sold them to move on to meet new challenges. His route operations firm, General Vending, has survived many economic challenges including 9/11 and has always come out on top. In 2010 Mike acquired GameWorks in both Miami and Tampa and re-branded it GameTime. The decision to venture into the world of FEC's has proven to be very successful over the years, so much that Mr. Abecassis invested over $2 Million renovating both his Miami and Tampa locations in 2015, built a new center in Fort Myers which officially opened early 2016 and has two new centers currently being built in the Orlando area and Daytona. Mike’s major areas of discipline include business development, business evaluation, negotiation, operating procedures and management. He oversees the day to day operations of all GameTime locations as well as several other entertainment and amusement companies throughout Florida. As he likes to say, “Every experience prepares you for the next challenge ahead.”
