Seigfried Dattl Jr., CEO at TAB-Austria, has died at 51 after a long illness.
According to an obituary published by Intergame, Dattl leaves both of his parents, Annemarie and father Siegfried who started the company 50 years ago, and a sister Elisabeth Puehringer.
Dattl was head of TAB-Austria for 20 years and championed touchscreen games such as the Silverball terminal, the Maxfire digital juke box and the Fun4Four upright four-player gambling game for amusement only. Dattl later secured a series of contracts to supply specialist sports-betting cabinets and have them exported to several markets including Spain and the UK.
