Upon the news that Bally’s would be taking over Gamesys Group PLC, Lee Fenton subsequently became CEO of Bally’s in October 2021. Also worth noting is that this decision will mean that Fenton will be leaving the company’s board of directors, a move that will also become valid as of March 31st.

I look forward to working hard with my executive team and all our teams to take those opportunities and maximize our growth.”Robeson Reeves, Incoming Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bally’s Corporation, Press Release

Meanwhile, for his part, Lee Fenton highlighted the special nature of working at a company such as Bally’s, claiming that he has plenty of confidence in Reeves’ abilities to steer the ship:

“Bally’s is an extraordinary business with extraordinary people, and I want to thank each and every one of them for the support they have shown me and the commitment they continue to bring to the business.

Robeson is a unique talent and the time is right for him to lead Bally’s.”Lee Fenton, Outgoing Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bally’s Corporation, Press Release

And finally, major Bally’s news wouldn’t be complete without a statement from Soo Kim, chairman of Bally’s board of directors, who praised Fenton’s time at the company while simultaneously rolling out the red carpet for Reeves:

“On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank Lee for his excellent leadership and valuable contributions to Bally’s. Lee has led Bally’s through the effective integration of Gamesys, leaving us well positioned for future growth. I am excited to have Robeson succeed Lee as CEO. Robeson has an extraordinary mind and the drive required to excel as he takes the helm.”Soo Kim, Chairman, Bally’s Corporation, Press Release

Bally’s Appointed Major Finance Executive to Board in January 2023

As already hinted at, Bally’s has experienced a number of changes to both its executive-level leadership and board of directors in recent months, with the operator revealing in January 2023 the appointment of a seasoned executive from the finance industry, Tracy Harris, as an independent member of its board of directors.

Harris boasts over 20 years of experience in the finance industry, most recently acting as executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of MIB. She also spent time as chief financial officer (CFO) of UMUC Ventures, holding the same title at Bullis School and BondFactor.

In addition to her responsibilities at Bally’s, Harris likewise sits on the board of the health insurance and healthcare provider CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, and also acts as an independent director at 1847 Holdings.

And to close things off on Bally’s this week, the company stepped into a significant labor neutrality agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) for its Tropicana Las Vegas retail property back in December 2022.

The crux of the agreement is based on the somewhat vague promise that both parties will adopt a neutral approach to organizing campaigns. Jose Soto, Organizing Director of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 501, nevertheless made the decision to praise Bally’s devotion to supporting organized labor:

“Bally’s and IUOE are aligned in our efforts to advance employee representation locally and at the national level. As a result of the commitment and integrity demonstrated by Mr. Kim and his team, we’ve developed a strong relationship with Bally’s that we are confident will benefit the company’s workforce for many years to come.”
