Mr Wilson will start on March 1 as executive vice president and group chief executive, gaming. Ms Lane commences her role on February 1 as chief commercial officer, gaming.

Derik Mooberry, who has served as Scientific Games’ gaming group chief executive, is to take up what the group called a “strategic advisory role to support the new leadership team”.
