The Mohegan Tribe is losing its top gaming executive. Bobby Soper, a tribal citizen, is leaving his post as president and CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority "immediately," according to a press release. He took about two years ago and oversaw operations at Mohegan Sun, located on the tribe's reservation in Connecticut, and Mohegan Sun Pocono, a commercial facility in Pennsylvania. “Having served as General Manager of both our Connecticut and Pennsylvania properties, Bobby actively pursued the growth of the Mohegan gaming enterprise to ensure its viability and survivability in an ever-increasingly competitive industry, and he helped us achieve important gains across the country and around the world,” said Chairman Kevin P. Brown, who also leads the board of directors for the gaming authority. According to news reports, Soper's resignation comes amid a review of potential financial irregularities in Pennsylvania. Soper told The New London Day that the review stems from a theft involving employees and a senior executive at the casino. Read More on the Story:
