The sale of IGT to GTECH was completed more than six months ago, and the new executives are getting comfortable with the acquisition. Renato Ascoli was formerly a senior executive with GTECH and has been given responsibility over the company’s all-important North American and interactive markets, as the company’s CEO in those areas. DoubleDown Casino, one of IGT’s most profitable assets, is also under his oversight. Ascoli talks about the cultural differences between the two companies and how they are building a truly unique corporate culture at the new IGT. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros and Editor Frank Legato at G2E in October.
