The appointment, which is subject to regulatory approvals, will also see Mircheva assume a new role as an executive vice president of the business.

Marcus Glover, Bally’s previous CFO, will instead serve as Bally’s executive vice president, global operations group.

It follows Bally’s merging with The Queen Casino last month following a $4.6bn takeover from its Standard General shareholder.

Robeson Reeves, Bally’s CEO, said: “On behalf of the board of directors and the entire leadership team, I am thrilled to welcome Mira to Bally’s.

“She brings considerable experience to this role and her experience as CFO of The Queen Casino & Entertainment will be invaluable as we integrate Queen into Bally’s.”

Bally’s points to Mircheva’s experience

The land-based and online gaming operator highlighted Mircheva as a senior executive in the hospitality and gaming industry with more than 25 years’ experience in finance.

Prior to her role at The Queen Casino, Mircheva served as partner & research analyst at Standard General.

This followed a position as senior research analyst at Perella Weinberg Partners Asset Management, which itself came on the back of a seven-year stint at Goldman Sachs where she left as vice president in credit principal.

Bally’s chairman Soo Kim said: “Mira’s experience as a CFO and strong financial acumen and operational experience make her the right person to help Bally’s continue to grow and achieve our long-term financial goals.”

Mircheva added: “I am thrilled to be joining Bally’s at such an exciting time for the company and to leverage my experience with Queen to continue to strengthen our financial position by optimising our cost structure, enhancing the efficiency of our operations and leveraging the collective experience of our board and my newest colleagues across the globe.”
