Robert Antokol is the chief executive of Israel’s largest game company, Playtika. A division of Caesars Interactive, the Tel Aviv company has 1,200 employees, and it’s one of the pioneering companies behind Israel’s $1 billion gaming industry.
Playtika wasn’t the first company in the $3.4 billion social casino gaming market (as measured by market researcher Eilers Research). Antokol cofounded Playtika with Uri Shahak in 2010, well after Zynga launched Zynga Poker in 2008. But his company’s Slotomania app took off on Facebook and later on mobile. Caesars bought the company at a valuation of $150 million in 2011, and Playtika used its advantages to shoot to the top of the industry.
