Intralot has appointed Robeson Mandela Reeves as its new Chief Executive Officer, following the resignation of Konstantinos Farris. The appointment, confirmed during the board meeting on 7 November 2025, is part of the leadership reshuffle connected to Bally’s acquisition of Intralot’s international interactive business. The change aligns with the post-closing integration plan announced earlier this year.
Robeson Mandela Reeves joins Intralot’s board as CEO and executive member, succeeding Konstantinos Farris. His appointment follows the completion of the Bally’s transaction and was anticipated as part of the post-deal leadership structure rather than a pre-closing condition.
The updated Board includes 11 members, chaired by Sokratis Kokkalis with Soohyung Kim as Vice Chairman. Nikolaos Nikolakopoulos has been named President, while Chrysostomos Sfatos will serve as Chief Operating Officer.
The Board was elected at the General Meeting of shareholders in May 2024 for a six-year term. “This leadership structure strengthens Intralot’s governance and operational continuity following the Bally’s deal,” the company stated in its announcement.
As a reminder, Intralot S.A. (the Greek lottery and gaming technology group) bought Bally’s international online division, which includes its global online casino and sportsbook assets outside the U.S. The deal, valued at around EUR 2.7 billion, was paid partly in new Intralot shares, which made Bally’s a majority shareholder in the newly enlarged Intralot.
So, even though Intralot is technically the buyer, Bally’s ends up controlling Intralot through its new shareholding. That’s why Bally’s executive Robeson Mandela Reeves (formerly CEO of Bally’s) became Intralot’s new CEO – part of the post-acquisition integration plan.
