The buying binge undertaken by Scientific Games over the past two years is over, but now that WMS Gaming and Bally Technologies (along with SHFL Entertainment) have been brought under the umbrella, it’s now time to consolidate talent. And a major part of that was the appointment of Katie Lever as the massive company’s new general counsel. Lever comes from SHFL Entertainment via Bally, but has vast experience in the legal field in the gaming industry. Her time with Scientific Games CEO Gavin Isaacs when he was leading SHFL gives her a knowledge of how the company will be run, and she credits Isaacs with giving her this dynamic opportunity. She spoke with GGB Editor Frank Legato in December after being chosen as one of the “25 People to Watch” for 2015 in the January issue of the magazine.
