California Gambling Control Commission (CGCC) member Richard Schuetz is ditching the Golden State to take up a similar job in Bermuda.

On Monday, Bermuda Casino Gaming Commission (BCGC) chairman Alan Dunch announced that Schuetz was stepping down from his California position effective immediately and would assume his new role as BCGC executive director on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Dunch said Schuetz’s years of experience in the gaming industry, which includes acting as CEO of the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and a stint on the board of gaming equipment supplier Shuffle Master, would be of great use to the BCGC as it prepares to “introduce casinos to Bermuda.”

The BCGC was formed in February of this year, two months after the country passed the Casino Gaming Act 2014. The legislation, which took years to garner sufficient legislative support, calls for a maximum of three casinos to be built in Bermuda.
