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

"We are delighted to have Brooks return to the helm of our racing
division," said Mr. Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO of Scientific Games. "The
