He joined San Manuel in 2004 when the tribe’s casino was just getting started, but is now the nation’s most successful gaming enterprise as the Yaamava’ Casino Resort. Coin has directed the community involvement, philanthropy and public profile of the tribe. A member of the Hopi tribe in Arizona, Coin explains the philosophy and culture of his tribe.
