The changes also include the creation of a new position – chief creative officer – that was immediately filled from within by Darrell Rodriguez. The new role gives Rodriguez responsibility over IGT’s worldwide creative agenda, inclusive of any of the company’s third party game developers. Patti Hart, IGT’s CEO, added: “Darrell brings an impressive history of creativity, strategic vision, and best-in-class content expertise that will continue to provide the foundation of our products and services.”

Commenting on the deal was Edward Mifsud, manager of mybet operator PEI, who said: “It is of an upmost importance for us to comply with Schleswig-Holstein IT requirements, and we look forward to working with Dictao to enable our players to confidently bet online.”
