Blackfeet Nation terminates manager of new casino

Monday, February 5, 2007  

The Blackfeet Nation of Montana has fired the manager of its casino only three months after grand opening.

Gary Green was brought in to run the Glacier Peaks Casino. With a background in tribal gaming, he launched a Vegas-like campaign for the $7 million facility.

But the effort ran into some early difficulties. The casino made across-the-board salary cuts, laid off some employees, obtained a short-term loan and missed some vendor payments.

Siyeh, the tribe's economic development corporation, hope to hire a new manager within three to four months, a board member said.
