Ainsworth Game Technology Ltd has confirmed Ryan Comstock as its new chief executive, with the appointment taking effect immediately.
The Australia-listed slot machine maker said Comstock already holds the required gaming regulatory licensing approvals through earlier roles at the company. He joined Ainsworth in 2012, became chief operating officer in 2018, and moved into the acting CEO role on October 13, 2025, after Harald Neumann resigned.
Ainsworth said its board reviewed Comstock over the six months he spent as acting CEO before making the role permanent. The company said:
“The board considered that Mr Comstock has the necessary attributes and experience gained across all operational areas of the company to undertake the role of CEO.”
Ainsworth also pointed to his knowledge of the business and the initiatives he led during the interim period. It added:
“His extensive knowledge across all operational areas of the company, together with initiatives undertaken by him, were considered in determining his appointment.”
Comstock will receive a base salary of $625,000 per year. His contract has no fixed term and remains subject to review by the board.
