From the Niagara Falls Review:
Craig Martel could have taken his years of gaming floor experience to the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort when it opened in June 2004.
However, he chose to keep his expertise at Casino Niagara.
“I guess at the end of the day this is home to me. That was why I stayed,” said Martel, who joined Casino Niagara as a slot floor supervisor on Oct. 7, 1995 and remains there as a slot shift manager today.
He’s one of about 1,800 employees at the two Niagara Falls gaming properties who will mark their 10th anniversaries with the company this year and one of a handful who decided not to leave the comfort of the city’s original casino in favour of her more glamourous younger sister.
“Being part of things from Day 1 … you grow up with the staff, you hit important life milestones together. That was another reason why I wanted to stay.”
