GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Brian Decorah, CEO, Snoqualmie Casino

Brian Decorah took over as CEO at the Snoqualmie Casino outside of Seattle. He previously had worked for Firekeepers in Michigan, helping to build a new hotel, expand the casino and raise the visibility of the tribal casino in the community. In Washington, Snoqualmie has no hotel, but Decorah is hopeful that the tribal owners will soon pull the trigger and decide to build one. He also talks about some of the unique regulations in Washington state that challenge his operations and other tribal casinos. He sat down with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October.
