A seasoned industry veteran, Cottle will provide insight gained from years of experience with Silicon Valley start-ups as well as leading entertainment technology companies such as Zynga, Electronic Arts, Walt Disney Co., and Palm.
Scientific Games is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with major operations in Chicago, Atlanta, and Barcelona. The Chicago campus, which houses more than 600 employees, including developers, artists and engineers, was previously home to WMS Gaming, which Scientific Games acquired in 2013. In 2014, the Company acquired Bally Technologies, thereby creating a diverse portfolio of lottery, gaming, and social/mobile products.
Cottle said, "I am absolutely thrilled to host this event and speak with a number of Chicago-based professionals eager to build a career in the gaming space. As a leading technology company with a large operation in Chicago, we drive innovation by recruiting the most passionate and skilled individuals the industry has to offer. Our success is built on a foundation of raw talent and motivation, molded by our ambitious employees and positive corporate environment. I can't wait to meet many potential candidates, share our work with them, and hopefully expand our team with some gifted professionals."
The recruiting event will include a presentation by Barry Cottle, tours of the Chicago campus at 2781 Roscoe, a networking reception, and opportunities to meet hiring managers. Candidates can view open positions on the Scientific Games Careers page and register to attend the event until 12 p.m. CT on September 23, 2015.
