“As a young Project Manager installing systems for Aristocrat, my first solo conversion was the Chicken Ranch Bingo and Casino in 2005,” stated Diallo Gordon, Chief Executive Officer for Passport. “My clear thought on that experience was their staff was smart, hard-working, ambituous, patient, and above all kind – I knew nothing but learned a lot. To see the dreams of the Chicken Ranch Rancheria Tribe of the Me-Wuk Indians manifest through this expansion and beautiful resort is special to me and I am grateful for their trust and partnership in allowing me to serve them again. Thank you!”
