Slot Machine Employees Happy
When
the Blackfeet Indians decided to build a
slot machine casino, they wanted all of
the bells and whistles that would draw
in visitors from miles upon miles away.
They also wanted to bring in the best
people to make sure that everything
within the hotel would cater to the
pickiest guest, no matter where they
came from. They put in a bingo hall that
people can win up to $100,000 on bingo
machines after seeing how bingo halls
were done in Italy. They used an Asian
influence on the slot machines, making
them bilingual as well, so that their
neighbors from Calgary would feel at
home.
With
all of the money going out to make their
customers happy and to keep them coming
back and playing their slot machines,
what about their employees? Well, it
turns out that the Indian tribe truly
left nothing to chance. Their employees
are some of the best kept employees in
the slot machine industry. They have an
employee dining room where all of their
employees can eat for free. They also
have a state certified round the clock
child care center, which is also free
for their employees. They have a bus
that runs around the reservation to pick
people up and drop them off if they have
the need for that as well. They have few
minimum wage jobs, as they tried to pay
everyone more than that – and most of
those that are minimum wage are tip
earning positions, so they bring home
more than that anyway.
It
seems that if you are running a slot
machine casino, or any business, one of
the most important things you can do is
take care of your employees, which is
exactly what they have done.
