Microgaming Names Stephen Fisk as CEO
Microgaming has announced that Stephen Fisk will take over the role of Chief Executive Officer from Andrew Clucas with immediate effect.
Stephen first stepped into Microgaming’s world six and a half years ago as Director of Sportsbook, responsible for developing and growing the company’s proprietary sports betting offering from the ground up. More recently, he took on the role of Chief Operations Officer, where he continued to work closely with the Microgaming team to enhance its platform systems and services.
With a career spanning 24 years, Stephen held numerous senior positions within some of the top global gaming brands before stepping into joining Microgaming’s world.
As Andrew’s successful tenure at Microgaming comes to a close, he will now take on new opportunity within the industry.
“I am thrilled to be made Chief Executive Officer of Microgaming, one of the most established, trusted and successful organisations in the global online gambling industry. Our technology is cutting edge, our experience second to none and we absolutely have the best team in the business. This provides a strong foundation from which we can continue to drive forwards and achieve even greater things for Microgaming and our customers,” Stephen Fisk, Chief Executive Officer at Microgaming, said.
“Andrew’s strong strategic steer has been crucial to the company’s ongoing success, and I thank him for his invaluable contributions. He has embedded a culture of change, all the while maintaining a sense of unity and integrity at Microgaming – which I intend to carry forward,” Stephen Fisk added.
“It has been an honour to have worked at Microgaming over the past 14 years and especially in recent years with the organisation having opened the next chapter of its incredible story. I have had the privilege of working closely with Stephen and there really is no more qualified candidate for the job than him. I leave Microgaming in very good hands and have no doubt that Stephen and the team will go on to achieve great things,” Andrew Clucas said.

La Française des Jeux (FDJ), one of Europe’s leading betting and gaming operators, will meet investors over the next days with a view to launching its first bond issue, subject to market conditions.
FDJ recall that, on 7 November, Moody’s assigned the Group a long-term credit rating of Baa1 – stable outlook.
With a total value of €1.5 billion, in 3 tranches with maturity of 6, 9 and 12 years, the bond issue would be used to refinance most of the €2 billion bridging loan, drawn on 7 October to finance the acquisition of Kindred shares for nearly €2.5 billion. The bonds will be listed on the Euronext regulated market in Paris.
Furthermore, FDJ is finalising a €400 million syndicated loan with top-tier French and international banks, which will be repaid over 5 years. This financing is also intended to repay the bridging loan which will be settled with Group’s cash.
