New chairman Gavin Isaacs brings gaming expertise to SBTech

That didn’t take long.

On Wednesday, sports betting and gaming technology supplier SBTech announced that it has tapped Gavin Isaacs as its new non-executive chairman. Isaacs joins SBTech officially on January 2.

The appointment comes almost a month after Isaac gave up his seat on the board as well as his position as vice chairman of gaming equipment supplier Scientific Games, effective December 3. At the time, Isaacs was quoted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as saying that he has no plans to retire, but that it’s “time for a change.”

Change indeed came for the executive, who has set his sights on making a return into the gaming industry. According to SBTech, Isaacs will use his two decades of gaming experience “to further grow the company’s rapidly expanding U.S. presence.”
