Scott Butera made his name in the gaming industry early on by working as a turnaround expert. His ability to refinance and reposition companies was in full display during his time with the Trump organization, the Tropicana Las Vegas and Foxwoods. Then he pivoted to become the commissioner of the Arena Football League for a few years, now with MGM he’s in charge of the company’s interactive efforts including sports betting, social casinos and iGaming. He talks about the MGM partnership with GVC and why that’s the cornerstone of his companies plans in the U.S. markets. He met with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at his offices at Bellagio in December.
