Last week, the news media were invited to tour the facility
and get a look at the casino floor and the five restaurants
and bars that will soon open to the public.
The casino, which will provide 1,200 full and part-time
jobs, is being constructed on 44 acres along the Maumee
River and will enclose 290,00 square feet of space.
There will be 2,620 gaming positions and 2,000 electronic
machines, along with poker, blackjack, roulette and craps
tables.
Mike Galle, assistant general manager, noted that the casino
will have entertainment every night of the week.
And as the facility is not quite ready to go, neither is the
staff. There are still open positions and training is
ongoing at a number of sites. Ninety percent of the jobs are
expected to be filled by local residents, said Galle, who
was not at all concerned with the fact that experienced
casino workers are few and far between in the northwest Ohio
area.
The casino is looking for the those with the right attitude,
he said. “We can teach you to deal cards.”
