PRESS RELEASE ~ July 23, 2006
The Blackfeet Nation of Montana
and Casino Marketing Guru Gary Green are finishing the final
touches to open the largest casino in Montana and the largest
Racino in the Northwestern United States.
Browning, MT (PRWEB) July 23, 2006 --
The Blackfeet Nation of Montana and Casino Marketing Guru Gary Green
are finishing the final touches to open the largest casino in
Montana and the largest Racino in the Northwestern United States.
The new Glacier Peaks Casino in Browning Montana will feature more
than 500 slot machines, a mile-and-a-quarter horse track with 2,000
seats, non-house-banked Blackjack and Mini-Baccarat, Bingo-based
Roulette and Craps, as well as a Poker room, a bar, and 24-hour
restaurants.
This property is amazing; it has it all
Located at the eastern entrance to Glacier National Park, the new
casino is set to hold a gala Grand Opening event over Labor Day
weekend, but will have a "soft" opening in mid-August.
Albuquerque-based Flinto Construction will turn the keys to the
building over to Green on August 7th and more than 200 employees
will report to work for training.
Only 10 of the new casino’s employees are not members of the
Blackfeet Nation – making Glacier Peaks one of the
highest-percentage Native-employee casinos in the country.
Additionally, Green has created a mentoring program that will train
Tribal members to eventually take over all of the positions.
Green, who was brought in by the Blackfeet Tribe’s Siyeh Development
Corporation in April after he successfully created the High Winds
Casino for the Ottawa Nation, will serve as General Manager of the
new property. His aggressive marketing and branding program targets
not only the Montana communities but also the 2½ -million tourists
who visit the National Park annually and the one-million-plus
population of Calgary Alberta Canada which is day-trip bussing
distance from the new casino.
"This property is amazing; it has it all," Green said. "That
population of Calgary includes more than 120,000 Asians and we have
created special triple-8 Asian-themed games for that market. We have
a para-mutual horse track for the Montana horse community, and more
games than anyone in this part of the country. Between those groups,
the National Park visitors, and the local area, this property is
destined to change the face of Browning, the Blackfeet Nation, and
gaming in Montana." He added.
Immediately after opening, work will begin on a hotel and events
center to accommodate the Glacier Park tourists and Canadian
visitors. Even before opening, many tourism boards are calling the
new venture a "destination resort."
Mixing the building design with variety of games and a racetrack was
itself a formidable task in rural Montana; but Glacier Peaks will go
beyond the visible amenities by becoming the first Class II casino
in the country to have a true player tracking and casino management
system. Designed to Green’s own rigid marketing requirements and the
GSA standards that he has endorsed since GSA’s founding, the new
system will allow the casino to compete with Class III and corporate
casinos.
Designed in a rustic Montana-log motif and framed year-round by the
snow-capped glaciers of the Rocky Mountains, the building features a
spacious lobby with a roaring fireplace and a lodge-like atmosphere
of huge Montana pine and spruce framed with hand-set granite slabs.
From tuxedoed dealers to feather-clad Vegas-style showgirls, Green’s
legendary flamboyant branding will be felt throughout the new
casino.
"Let me just tell you, What Happens In Browning Stays In Browning,"
Green mused about the glitzy flair of his new property.
"On a serious note, of all the properties I have been involved with
during the past 25 years –including the Trump property– this
Blackfeet casino holds the most marvelous potential. Siyeh
Corporation and the Blackfeet Tribe have created a jewel," he
concluded.
