Daly rejoins SHFL from Bally
After three years with the Nevada supplier in the mid-2000s, Daly returns as VP of online gaming.
Former SHFL Entertainment product manager Michael Daly has rejoined the company after several years with fellow Nevada egaming licensee Bally Technologies, taking on the role of VP of online gaming.
MIT graduate Daly first joined the company, which received its Nevada online poker licence last year, in 2003 as product manager for the service provider’s electronic gaming tables. He remained with SHFL – then known as Shuffle Master – for close to three years before joining Bally.
His six-year spell with Bally included several months as a senior director of its online arm, Bally Interactive, after its creation in October 2011, remaining with the business as it acquired Chiligaming’s iGaming Platform which has been behind the setup of freeplay online offerings for the land-based Mohegan Sun and Golden Nugget casinos.
Daly’s appointment is the second in recent months from SHFL with online activities in mind, after Nick Gabriel was brought in late last year to head up the company’s online division.
SHFL, which rebranded from Shuffle Master last October, has secured egaming licences in both Alderney and Gibraltar in recent months as it increases its online presence.
Last month saw the company strike a deal with Amaya Gaming which will see SHFL act as the exclusive distributor of the Canadian company’s online poker and gaming platforms in the United States.
