PDS Gaming names Dungan as new chief executive

PDS Gaming has appointed Alex Dungan, previously of Bally Technologies, as its new chief executive.

Dungan spent 27 years at Bally, most recently serving as vice-president of the gaming operations business unit and sales administration.

Johan Finley, the founder and current chief executive of gaming equipment and financing solutions PDS, will continue to advise the company as a consultant on special projects.

In addition, Finley will serve as special gaming advisor to Northlight Financial, an affiliate that acquired PDS in January last year.

“I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to build upon the vitality of the PDS organisation and to expand our customer base and expand our suite of products to meet the ever growing needs of gaming customers around the world,” Dungan said.

“I’ve known Johan for years, and when he approached me I knew I had to strongly consider the opportunity to work with the team at PDS and Northlight based upon the success he had fostered over the years.”

Finley added: “I am leaving PDS in excellent condition under the guidance and direction of Alex; his expertise and reputation in the gaming industry is now combined with a strong and dedicated team of individuals to allow PDS to carry on the fine work it has always delivered.”
