Chickasaw Nation offers gas to casino employees

Thursday, November 13, 2008  

The Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma is making sure employees at one of its casinos have enough money to drive to work.

Winstar World Casino is located in Thackerville, near the Texas border. The location and the need to recruit employees inspired the tribe to offer a gas incentive.

"WinStar is a rather remote location," general manager Mark Reasoner told KTEN, "and for any of the employees making under $50,000, it starts at $25 per paycheck after taxes, and it goes up, depending on how far away you live. It goes all the way up to 50, 75 from there."

The casino recently filled 350 jobs and is looking to hire 350 more people.
