Casino Host
Riverside, Mo.

Employee Story

I like the players and, seeing them come in everyday, I have become friends with some of them. They talk about their children and family and I love getting to know them personally. People think that coming to the casino means just coming to “push the button” on a slot machine, but it is so much more than that. There are many departments that make the casino work: Marketing, Accounting, Human Resources, Hotel and Food & Beverage. They’re all very important to the gaming industry.

Associate Product Manager,
Downloadable Server-Based Gaming
Las Vegas, Nev.

Employee Story

Business is my passion. I get to help work on brand-new, cutting-edge products from start to finish. I get to see a product through its infancy to commercialization. The industry is growing quickly and technology is advancing. There are always new things on the horizon. I was lucky enough to spend some time working in Australia. I have even spent a few weeks on a manufacturing line. I have already taken advantage of so many great learning opportunities.

Meetings and Convention Manager
Las Vegas, Nev.

Employee Story

I like networking with people. In my position, I meet people from all over the world. It is my responsibility to make their experience the best it can be. I love the responsibility, and I love the decision-making power. During a convention, I sometimes have responsibility for almost 1,000 people. I like making sure their stay is what they hoped for. There are endless opportunities. They are always developing new positions here. It’s just a matter of getting in and then finding your way.

Biloxi, Miss.

Employee Story

The company really cares about its employees. There is a lot of chance for career growth, if you are willing to take advantage of new opportunities. You receive tuition reimbursement here. They encourage you to apply for jobs within the company that interest you. They are very supportive. There is something different here for everyone, from slots workers, to chefs, to accountants. It is so much more than a casino.

Assistant Executive Chef
Charles Town, W.V.

Employee Story

The fast pace of the gaming industry is really what first attracted me to it. The ability to face a different challenge each and every day and to be forced to make split decisions in order to accomplish a task is always thrilling to me. Every person you meet is like a guest you are inviting over for dinner, and watching them truly enjoy a meal that you had a part in is very rewarding. My company offers a variety of leadership development training opportunities designed to help managers in their professional development. You get back what you put in each and every day, which is very rewarding.

Cheryl Bell

Reservations Supervisor
Lake Charles, La.

Employee Story

It’s always been my dream to become an accountant. With the help of tuition reimbursement, I am finally able to go back to school. I definitely feel that going back to school has helped me with my leadership skills, directly influencing my career. Words cannot even explain what it means to not have to worry about those out-of-pocket expenses. Not having to take out as many loans is one of the many benefits of why I work [in the gaming industry].

Sumer Baugh

Guest Experience Manager
Lake Charles, La.

Employee Story

When I was about to graduate from college, I knew that I wanted to work for an industry that was fast-paced, rapidly growing and had room for advancement throughout my career. As luck would have it, the gaming industry fit this bill to a “T.” I communicate with guests on a daily basis, and these conversations have allowed our company to implement guests' suggestions into the daily operation of the property. I have learned that the guests are our most reliable and useful allies.

Executive Director of Casino Marketing
Las Vegas, Nev.

Employee Story

I enjoy interacting with people and creating things. This job gives me a chance to do both. I get to create promotions and promotional materials. I also get to work on the casino floor and meet new people. I really like the balance. My superiors have given me plenty of opportunities to learn and excel. There are so many opportunities to succeed, if you choose to do so. So far, I have been able to move up quickly.
