Slot and systems manufacturer Aristocrat Technologies has named well-known casino systems expert Jeffrey J. Connors as senior director of national accounts and business development. Connors brings more than 20 years of casino management system experience to the company.

Connors is returning to Aristocrat after a seven-year term as vice president of regional sales for Bally Technologies, where he managed that company’s corporate accounts and ran the Western U.S. sales territory. He first came to Aristocrat from Casino Data Systems when Aristocrat purchased that firm and its Oasis casino management system in 2002.

In his new position at Aristocrat, Connors will have responsibility for new business development, managing national systems accounts, and increasing the systems footprint across North America.

“We are very excited to welcome Jeff back to the Aristocrat family,” said Kelly Shaw, Aristocrat’s vice president of system sales and marketing. “He was instrumental in growing our Oasis systems business, first with Casino Data Systems and then with Aristocrat until 2003, and we are confident that he will make significant contributions to our company and to our customers.”

“I am thrilled to join Seamus McGill, Kelly and the entire Aristocrat team,” said Connors. “Speaking from decades of experience, I can say the new bonusing features, ease of use, and stability of the Oasis 360 casino management system is simply the best on the market, and I am proud to represent the entire Aristocrat portfolio of products to our partners throughout the Americas.”
