Persson founded Maverick Gaming with Justin Beltram, with whom he had worked at the Las Vegas Sands Corp.
“We think of our company as having an enterprise value of around $1 billion today, and are working towards becoming a $5 billion enterprise value over next five years,” he told GGB News in an exclusive interview. His Nevada-based company burst on the scene two years ago and began buying up small to medium-size casinos, and soon will be operating in three states. Maverick Gaming CEO Eric Persson is not shy about his ambitions.
