Two join Shuffle Master board of directors

Shuffle Master Gaming appointed two certified public accountants to the table game manufacturer’s board of directors.

Eileen Raney and Randy Thoman, who combined have more than 50 years of public accounting experience, joined the board Tuesday. A day earlier, the company announced former Shuffle Master Interim Chief Executive Officer Phillip Peckman had resigned from the board.

Raney is currently chairwoman of Deloitte & Touche’s Retired Partner Advisory Council. Raney spent 19 years at Deloitte & Touche in New York.

Randy Thoman joins the Shuffle Master board after more than 32 years of experience as an audit partner with Deloitte & Touche, serving public companies in the gaming, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and real estate industries.

"Both Eileen and Randy have unique and relevant experience that will add depth to our board and valuable oversight to Shuffle Master’s strategic efforts,” Shuffle Master Chairman Garry Saunders said in a statement.
