Gavin Hamilton, CEO of Red Tiger Gaming, said Looney would help spearhead the rapidly expanding growth across global regulated markets.
He said: “I’m delighted to welcome Chris to the team and am very pleased to be working with someone as well known and well respected in the industry.
“He will be a great addition to Red Tiger Gaming and a key player in the development of the business going forward.”
Looney added: “I’m thrilled to be joining Red Tiger Gaming. I had nine great years working at Microgaming, but the opportunity to join the fastest growing casino software supplier in the industry was too good to turn down.
“Red Tiger has pioneered some truly innovative products and having seen what’s coming down the track this really feels like an exciting time to make the move.”
Red Tiger has signed a host of new commercial deals in recent months with companies including Mr Green, Gamesys, Coingaming, and many more.
They beat a host of rivals to claim two prestigious prizes at this year’s EGR B2B Awards earlier this summer, triumphing in the RNG Casino Supplier and Mobile Supplier of the Year categories.
