In
the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, online
casinos fans are continuing to read about
changes being made at the many land-based
casinos that were effected. Even though
online casinos players may have not been
effected as a whole, the dynamics of these
situations at the land casinos are
interesting nonetheless.
Online casinos players
understand that the hurricane effected not
only the physical aspects of the casinos
effected but, the management and casino
workers, too. Today, Harrah's Entertainment,
Inc. revealed that Jim Hoskins will be given
the position of senior vice president and
general manager of Harrah's New Orleans
Casino. This is contingent on required
regulatory approvals. However, it is not
believed that any obstacles will get in the
way.
Previously, Hoskins
was the senior vice president and general
manager of Grand Casino Gulfport. In his new
upcoming position, he is replacing Dan Nita,
who was recently given a new senior vice
president and general manager position
at Caesars Atlantic City.
Online casino players
are also learning that his new position in
New Orleans will be a great fit since he is
from the Gulf Coast area. He is familiar
with Gulf Coast casinos and has held several
casino positions in the past. For 2 years
from 2003 to 2005, he even had Vegas
experience by holding the position senior
vice president and chief financial officer
of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. This was
during a major period of expansion for the
well-known Vegas casino.
Prior to joining
Caesars Palace, Hoskins held a number of
executive positions at Grand Casino Gulfport
and the Beau Rivage in Biloxi. He studied
quantitative business analysis at Louisiana
State University and accounting at the
University of South Alabama, and is licensed
as a certified public accountant.
Many of us casino
games players love to take a small break for
online gambling to take a good trip to Vegas
and it will certainly want to help the New
Orleans economy if we visit there soon. With
major changes like this happening, we
should.
