“I’m honored to join the exceptional team at Jamul Casino Resort at such an exciting time of growth and development. I look forward to contributing to the continued success of this premier gaming destination and supporting the tribe’s vision for the future,” Ware said.
Ware joins Jamul Casino Resort from Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, where she was “instrumental” in overseeing the property’s expansion and the acquisition of Palms Casino, which became the first Tribal-owned casino in Las Vegas.
Prior to her work with Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, Ware also held key finance positions at Penn National Gaming, William Hill US, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Mirage.
