Casino exec Ross tapped for chairman of DEQ Systems

Former Affinity Gaming CEO David Ross was named chairman of Canada-based table game provider DEQ Systems.

Ross, who left his role with Affinity last year, was elected this week to the board of the company, which is headquartered in Quebec and provides the gaming industry with table game systems, as well as live and online table game content.

Ross was CEO of Las Vegas-based Affinity for three years. He was chief operating officer of Affinity predecessor Herbst Gaming for two years. Ross spent 25 years with Coast Casinos, which was purchased by Boyd Gaming Corp. in 2003.

In a statement, Ross said DEQ’s table games “provide a great platform to springboard into new markets and customers.”
