American Gaming Systems is a relatively new company in the gaming industry, getting its start in the video gaming market in Illinois. The addition of former Bally executive Bob Miodunski several years ago gave AGS a jumpstart, and now the appointment of former Shuffle Master and GCA executive David Lopez means the company is ready to take the next step. Lopez is well suited to lead AGS at such a critical point in its history because of his knowledge of gaming outside of Illinois and the Class II markets where AGS had traditionally been strong. The company’s plans include aggressive R&D and expansion into major casino markets. Lopez spoke with GGB Editor Frank Legato for the “25 People to Watch” in 2015 feature in the January issue of GGB magazine.
