(Washington DC).- The American Gaming Association (AGA) Board of Directors has elected Louis “Lou” M. Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of Delaware North, as the association’s next chairman. He will succeed Former Everi Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Rumbolz, who has served as AGA chairman since January 2024. Jacobs will begin his two-year term in January 2026.
“It’s an honor to lead the AGA at such a dynamic time,” said Jacobs. “I look forward to building on AGA’s success and working with CEO Bill Miller and the Board to ensure legal gaming remains a strong economic engine for communities across the country.”
As CEO of Delaware North, a family-owned global leader in hospitality and entertainment, Jacobs oversees the company’s operating subsidiaries, focusing on strategic growth and planning, corporate governance and financial management. The company’s gaming division has a significant portfolio of regional casinos and other gaming destinations, as well as online sports betting and iGaming in several states.
“Lou’s tremendous experience across the gaming and hospitality ecosystem makes him an exceptional choice to be AGA’s next chairman,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “His perspective as a long-time industry leader and active board member of the AGA will be instrumental as we continue to champion policies that strengthen and sustain our industry.”
During Rumbolz’s tenure as chairman, the AGA advanced key policy wins at the federal and state levels, strengthened responsible gaming programs, and led the industry’s efforts to combat illegal gambling.
“Mike’s leadership has been invaluable to both me and the AGA,” Miller continued. “His insight and steady hand have helped guide legal gaming through a period of continued growth and transformation.”
Beyond his leadership duties at Delaware North, Jacobs is committed to community service. He serves on the board and is currently chairing the capital campaign for FeedMore WNY, a non-profit dedicated to alleviating hunger in Western New York. Jacobs earned both his Bachelor of Arts and MBA from Harvard University. He and his wife Joan reside in East Aurora, N.Y. They have two children, Louis Jr. and Charlotte.
