In addition to its current number of seven casinos , WCH continues to operate three simulcast greyhound racing parks in Florida and Alabama . “ Wind Creek Hospitality ’ s success in these various markets , though strategic , is a testament to our team members and guests ,” said WCH Vice President of Business Development Arthur Mothershed . “ Our initial intent was to generate an escape for our small community and now we ’ re able to share that with the masses .” A TRIUMPH OF SHARED EFFORT REWARDED
The organization ’ s successful lineage of gaming and resorts has generated benefits that are , in effect , twofold : in employment and philanthropy . Employing more than 8,500 team members , last year it provided over $ 131 million in wages and $ 35 million in payroll taxes and benefits . Moreover , the organization views its relationship with its team members as a partnership , and actively seeks out ways to provide more than just a biweekly paycheck .
“ Events , recognition programs , quarterly bonuses , and training are a continuous reminder that we want the absolute best for our team members ,” said WCH Vice President of Human Resources Catherine Timmons , adding , “ We ’ re here to invest in our Team Members because it ’ s what they deserve .”
The success of WCH gaming here and abroad , albeit impressive , should not be mistaken as its culminating or final peak . In the upcoming years , both Tribal and PCI Gaming leaders are committed to continuing the organization ’ s trajectory of responsible growth .
