New president, CEO of Gun Lake Casino named

 The Gun Lake Tribe has announced the hiring of Salvatore, (Sal) Semola as president and chief operating officer of Gun Lake Casino.

 

“I am very excited about the opportunity to work for the citizens of the Gun Lake Tribe, and to lead an incredible group of team members at the Gun Lake Casino,” commented Semola.

“Gun Lake Casino is a beautiful property that is poised for tremendous growth that will produce mutual benefits for the tribe and local community.”

 

Semola will work closely with the Tribe’s governing body, the Tribal Council, and the casino management team over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition when Station Casinos concludes its management responsibilities in February of 2018 after nearly seven years of leading the tribe through pre-opening operations, successful daily operations and expansion projects.

 

“We are confident that the addition of Mr. Semola’s management capabilities to our established executive team will ensure the continued success and growth of the Gun Lake Casino,” said Scott Sprague, chairman of the tribe.  “We thank Station Casinos for their years of management expertise and the solid foundation it provided for the tribe.” //

 

Semola has more than 40 years of experience in the gaming and hospitality industry, including numerous successful Las Vegas properties and  management roles at Foxwoods Resort Casino, Cannery Casino Hotel, and Detroit’s Greektown Casino Hotel. 

Most recently, he was the president and owner of Semola Consulting/Cornerstone Gaming Management, a casino consulting company.

 

Semola has earned several awards, including the Eastern Division of the Casino Management Association “Gaming Professional of the Year,” and the University of Nevada-Las Vegas William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration “Industry Executive of the Year.” 

He has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, instructing casino management programs.
