Gaming industry executive Patrick Ramsey (pictured in a file photo) has been named to the board of directors of Voyager TopCo GP LLC, the parent company of casino equipment supplier IGT. The appointment is subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, according to a Wednesday release.
IGT was formed through the combination of casino technology supplier Everi Holdings Inc and International Game Technology Plc’s gaming and digital content business. That tie-up followed their 2025 acquisition by funds linked to private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc.
Mr Ramsey’s appointment is said to add further gaming-sector expertise to the board overseeing the combined IGT and Everi business, per the announcement.
Mr Ramsey is a well-known gaming industry executive whose experience spans gaming operations, technology, product strategy and corporate transformation. He previously served as chief executive of Multimedia Games Inc, a slot-machine supplier acquired in 2014 by the legacy Everi Holdings.
He also has prior experience as chief digital officer and as a non-executive director of Australia-based slot machine maker Aristocrat Leisure Ltd.
Wednesday’s announcement cited Daniel Cohen, chairman of Voyager TopCo GP, as saying: “Pat’s broad industry perspective and deep understanding of the gaming ecosystem make him a valuable addition to the Voyager Board.”
Mr Cohen added that Mr Ramsey’s experience across technology, operations and market development would support IGT as it seeks to expand its global presence.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Ramsey said the combined IGT and Everi business had assembled “a powerful portfolio of gaming, digital, systems, and financial technology” systems, supported by a “strong culture of innovation and customer focus”.
“I look forward to working with the board and leadership team to help accelerate growth opportunities and further strengthen the company’s global market position,” Mr Ramsey stated.
The appointment comes as IGT seeks to reposition itself as a diversified gaming technology supplier, combining gaming, digital and fintech capabilities, as highlighted by the group’s chief executive, Hector Fernandez, in a recent interview with GGRAsia.
