Michael Silberling

Michael Silberling is the CEO of Metropolitan Gaming, which is currently owned by Silver Point Capital. He has served as the company’s CEO since 2021. Silberling said about the company: “Metropolitan Gaming now presents an exciting opportunity to drive business forward with fresh ideas and targeted investment.”

Major Achievements

Under his leadership, Metropolitan Gaming recently sold its interest in Emerald Resort and Casino so that the company could focus on both maintaining its markets in the UK and Egypt, as well as on a rebranding of its Mayfair property.  

The company sold those assets to a consortium that was controlled by Tsogo Sun.  

Employment

Silbering is no stranger to the gaming industry. He began his career in Nevada in casino management and later went on to work for Caesars Entertainment. He stayed at Caesars from 2008 to 2014, where he served as the company’s President of International Operations. 

During that time, he also worked for London Clubs International as its Managing Director.  

Before joining Metropolitan Gaming, Silbering served as CEO of Affinity Gaming in Las Vegas and as Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment’s Chief Operating Officer.  

Silbering hails from Palo Alto, California and currently resides in London.

Products Launched

Metropolitan, along with its parent company, currently owns and operates 11 casinos. Silberling aided the group in a strategic partnership with Galaxy Gaming that launched the first Inter Casino Link progressive system, Mega Link Jackpot. The release was implemented at 22 tables across seven UK casinos.
