Brooks Pierce Named President of Scientific Games Racing

NEW YORK, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scientific Games announced Brooks Pierce has been appointed to the role of President of Scientific Games Racing, the Company's pari-mutuel wagering division. Mr. Pierce is a 16-year veteran of Scientific Games, most recently serving as Vice President of Corporate Marketing for Scientific Games, where he focused on business development, particularly in international markets.
