Team Member Spotlight 🌟 - Creek Nation Casino-Checotah

Meet Kristy, a Cage Cashier at ! Kristy has been part of the family for nearly 22 years, and loves everything about her job. During her typical shift, Kristy will cash out tickets, authorize VIP transactions, jackpots, and make change for our guests.

One piece of advice Kristy has for new hires is to take your time and breathe! "Every position at the casino can be very overwhelming with all the rules and different programs that we use, and it can be a lot to process when you are new. But, once you step back, breathe, and take it all in, it is so worth it!"

Kristy's favorite casino game is the Elvis $1 VGT machine, but she likes to play any VGT machine. 🎰

Thank you for all you do for MNGE, Kristy! 🙌
