Report says gaming information technology officers are underpaid

Tuesday, July 20, 1999 | 11:13 a.m.

Chief information officers in the gaming industry are poorly compensated compared to their counterparts in other industries, according to a report issued today by KPMG International and UNLV's International Gaming Institute.

The Annual Gaming Technology survey found that gaming CIOs made an average of $100,000 to $150,000 a year, depending on the size of the company and the location. That's 20 percent to 30 percent lower than the average salary for all CIOs, KPMG reported.

"The industry has to focus on retaining and hiring top level information system professionals and will have to pay competitive compensation packages to do so," concluded Saverio Scheri, national director of KPMG's Gaming Consulting Practice.

Project directors in gaming averaged $70,000 to $90,000 in annual pay. Project leaders, programmers and analysts averaged $55,000 to $70,000, while computer operators and PC specialists averaged $25,000 to $40,000.
