StumbleBrief: 75 jobs cut at casino
Wednesday, Dec. 9, 1998 | 11:46 a.m.
"This was scaling back from our R & D effort," said spokeswoman Pat Martin of Memphis-based Harrah's Entertainment Inc. She was quoted by The Commercial Appeal newspaper in Memphis.
The $14 million Premier project was conducted in a remodeled section of the casino and was aimed at attracting frequent players. Jobs eliminated included hosts, member representatives, telemarketers, marketers, table games dealers and human resource positions.
The experiment led to a decline in the casino's profit, the newspaper said.
