Intralot has confirmed the line-up of its Board of Directors following the completion of its Bally's M&A deal. This includes the confirmation of Robeson Reeves as CEO and a member of the Board of Directors.

Reeves, the CEO of Bally's, was confirmed to remain as a central part of the operation following the acquisition confirmation last month. Indeed, in the role of CEO and as a Member of the Board of Directors in the newly formed Bally's Intralot, Reeves will continue leading the business.

The acquisition was valued at €2.7bn ($3.12bn).

News of the acquisition first came to light in July of this year, with Reeves speaking exclusively to Global Gaming Insider at the time, stating that "no one else" has its combination of iGaming and lottery business.
