Casino equipment maker Shuffle Master Inc. said Thursday that Chief Executive Timothy J. Parrott will become a board member, filling in the spot previously occupied by former CEO Mark L. Yoseloff.
Parrott was named CEO-Elect last month, when Shuffle Master announced that Yoseloff would retire on March 15. Parrott's appointment was part of the company's succession plan.
Parrott most recently served as president and CEO of Aristocrat Technologies Inc. He is also a founding board member of the American Gaming Association.
Shuffle Master's stock added 18 cents, or 6.2 percent, to $3.07 in midday trading.
