Chris Rogers, senior vice president of sales and marketing at casino services company Transcity Group APA, is leaving to pursue other business interests.
Those interests include FabSmart Co, which is registered in Thailand and Macau, founded in 2009 by Rogers and Wayne Stevens, who have 20 and 22 years of experience in the casino gaming industry, respectively.
Through a new facility in Thailand, Fabmart has produced and manufactured a successful fast-action bakara live table game (pictured) placed at the Venetian Macau Casino in Sands China.
Rogers is also the founder and director of 113 East Lda, a Macau-based company founded in 2007.
113 East has grown from a one-man business focused on casino technology distribution to a company with a strong operating department with more than 400 gaming consoles in five Asian locations, Rogers says.
After moving from Transcity, the gaming executive plans to expand the core business of 113 Easts in gaming equipment distribution and consulting.
Speaking to GGRAsia, Rogers said: “I look forward to focusing on 113 East and FabSmart full time. Both businesses have grown significantly. Now is the right time for me to lead 113 East and FabSmart into the future, having achieved our goal of building Transity Asia and helping us secure acquisition partners in Suzo-Happ Group.”
“Transcity is working well with Suzo-Happ, and the quality of its management and staff is confident the company will have a lot of success over the next few years,” he added.
“It’s been bloody hard from the day I stepped in, and it’s not been without difficulties. I think I’ve learned a lot from a lot of good and bad experiences, and I’m going to take my business to the next level with this knowledge.” 에볼루션 바카라사이트
In a statement, Transity Group said: “Chris was instrumental in co-leading efforts to build Transity Asia and ensure the company was acquired by the right acquirer. Chris will remain close to the company and many of his friends and colleagues, but he will be missed. Nevertheless, he has left a strong legacy.”
“I wish you all the best with 113 East and Fabsmart, and I look forward to working and supporting you in the future,” it added.
Suzo-Happ is a global supplier of games, play, vending machines, industrial, transportation, and retail products. It is owned by Acorn Investments, a Washington, DC-based private equity investment company, and operates more than $2.5 billion in capital.
