Award-winning casino technology supplier Red Tiger Gaming has appointed Chris Looney as its new commercial director. He joins after seven years at Microgaming, most recently as sales manager.

Gavin Hamilton, CEO of Red Tiger Gaming, said Looney would help spearhead the rapidly expanding growth across global regulated markets.

He said: “I’m delighted to welcome Chris to the team and am very pleased to be working with someone as well known and well respected in the industry. He will be a great addition to Red Tiger Gaming and a key player in the development of the business going forward.”

Looney added: “I’m very excited to be joining Red Tiger, which is the fastest growing company among its peers and has pioneered some truly innovative products. Having also seen what is coming down the track this really feels like the best time to make the move.”

Red Tiger has signed a host of new commercial deals in recent months with companies including 888, Lottoland, and many more.

They beat a host of rivals to claim two prestigious prizes at this year’s EGR B2B Awards earlier this summer, triumphing in the RNG Casino Supplier and Mobile Supplier of the Year categories.
