IGT appoints Nick Khin as President of Global Gaming

International Game Technology (IGT) announced Wednesday that Nick Khin has been appointed as IGT President, Global Gaming. Khin previously served as IGT Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President, Gaming, since 2015.

In his new role as President of Global Gaming, Khin will be tasked with managing the IGT Global Gaming business unit, including studios, technology, sales, games and hardware, manufacturing and services, and systems. He will report directly to IGT CEO Vince Sadusky and will be based in Las Vegas.

"Nick is the obvious choice to lead IGT Global Gaming. Under his leadership, IGT is consistently releasing top games and strengthening its performance in every game category," said Vince Sadusky, IGT CEO. "Nick's knowledge, leadership and passion have earned him the respect of colleagues throughout our industry." 

Nick Khin joined IGT in 2013 and led the corporate strategy and mergers and acquisitions functions. Khin came to IGT with more than 23 years of industry experience including senior executive roles based in Las Vegas, London, and Sydney. 

IGT sells Gaming and Digital business to Apollo

Khin's transition to his new role as IGT President of Global Gaming comes as the company works on the sale of its Gaming and Digital business (IGT Gaming) to a newly formed holding company owned by affiliates of Apollo Global Management.

Apollo is acquiring the IGT assets along with Everi in an all-cash transaction that values the combined businesses at about $6.3 billion. Post-transaction, IGT will focus on its Global Lottery business.
