Marvin Jacobs

Charles “Charlie” Marvin Jacobs is an executive in the global hospitality, food service, and gaming industries. He serves as CEO of Delaware North’s Boston Holdings, overseeing the company’s operations in that region, including its gaming and entertainment assets. Delaware North, founded by his grandfather and great‑uncles (including Marvin Jacobs in 1915), is a family‑owned conglomerate that operates sports arenas, casinos, airports, and hospitality venues.

In 2025, Charlie Jacobs was listed as a principal in a pending iGaming operator application for Gamewise, LLC (d/b/a Ember Casino) before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. This filing indicates his direct involvement in the online gaming sector, supplementing his long‑standing role within the family enterprise. His documented leadership at Delaware North began in 2015, when Jeremy Jacobs named him CEO of the Boston Holdings unit.

Jacobs’ career has been entirely within the family business, with no prior roles outside the Delaware North ecosystem reported. His current responsibilities encompass both brick‑and‑mortar gaming operations and a strategic push into the regulated iGaming market, as evidenced by the Pennsylvania application.
