Aristocrat Leisure has named Dafne Guisard CEO-elect to succeed Trevor Croker. Her expected April 2027 start requires regulatory pre-approvals, CasinoBeats reported.
The leadership announcement accompanied FY26 results. CasinoBeats reported lower Aristocrat Interactive segment profit despite revenue gains in its content and iLottery businesses.
Guisard to Move From London to Las Vegas
Guisard previously served as Entain’s chief operations officer before joining Aristocrat. She currently leads Product Madness and serves as chief commercial officer for Aristocrat’s EMEA division, according to iGaming Business.
She will relocate from London to Las Vegas for the chief executive role, iGaming Business reported.
Croker has spent nearly 10 years as CEO and 18 years with Aristocrat overall, according to iGaming Business. He will remain through November 2027 to support the transition.
CasinoBeats reported that Aristocrat’s board considered internal and external candidates and sought outside advice before selecting Guisard.
Online Revenue Rises as Group Results Diverge
CasinoBeats reported group revenue of A$6,092.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2026. Reported revenue declined 3.2%, but rose 3.8% at constant currency, according to the outlet.
Statutory net profit fell 16.4% to A$1.37 billion, CasinoBeats reported. The outlet attributed the decline to the previous year’s Plarium-sale-related income. Net profit after tax increased 9.9% at constant currency, according to CasinoBeats.
Within Aristocrat Interactive, content revenue and iLottery revenue each increased 17%, CasinoBeats reported. The outlet said Aristocrat’s online slots market share reached 8% by September 2026, more than double its previous share.
Product Madness revenue grew 2% as its wider market contracted, according to CasinoBeats. Its market share reached 24%, the outlet reported.
Aristocrat maintained its target of US$1 billion in Interactive revenue by FY29, including its share of joint-venture revenue, CasinoBeats reported.
