Snoqualmie Casino, owned and operated by the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, welcomed Keith Sensabaugh to its executive team as Chief Operating Officer in July, and Roy Corby as Chief Gaming Officer earlier this month.

Operations

A hospitality and strategic leader with over 30 years of business experience, including more than 10 years in the casino industry, Sensabaugh was most recently a senior strategy executive at Little River Casino Resort in Manistee, Mich.

“Keith is a highly experienced casino executive and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Snoqualmie team.  We are fortunate to have him join us,” said Wendell Long, Chief Executive Officer at the casino. “We believe his experience in development, hospitality, senior management, and most importantly developing tribal members will be great contributing factors to the continued growth of our casino and its overall success.”

Sensabaugh brings a philosophy of “To be one with tribes and the nobleness of tribal gaming; to create multi-generational results in jobs, succession plans, wealth for the good of the village and greater communities and dum vivimus, servimus — while we live, we serve.”

“I look forward to the opportunity to carry out the vision that Mr. Long and the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe have created,” said Sensabaugh. “This new challenge allows me to work with a successful management team and I’m excited to take Snoqualmie Casino to the next level.”

Gaming

A tribal gaming industry veteran, Corby recently joined the Snoqualmie Casino as Chief Gaming Officer.

“Roy’s strategic focus, financial leadership and deep knowledge in operations management make him an extremely valuable addition” said Long. “He provides a special understanding of the competitive challenges we face and his expertise will position us to be innovators in the tribal gaming industry.”

In his role, Corby will focus on enriching the guest experience at Snoqualmie Casino. In addition to overseeing all areas of gaming within the company, he will work closely with the Player Development department to provide overall direction, planning and strategy designed to create a dynamic experience for each guest, during each visit.

“I’m very pleased and honored to join the highly skilled executive team at Snoqualmie Casino. I look forward to bringing in the latest gaming innovations and ushering in a new era of excitement for our guests,” said Corby.

A dedicated casino executive with more than 25 years of experience, Corby has served in a wide spectrum of top management and general manager positions across a range of both tribal and commercial casinos.

Most recently, he was General Manager of Jena Choctaw Pines Casino in Dry Prong, Louisiana.

Previous positions for Corby have included seven years as Chief Operating Officer for Sol Casinos in Tucson, Arizona, which included a $122 million expansion, and as Chief Operating Officer at Acres 4.0 in Las Vegas, one of the leading gaming technology firms in the industry.
