Cherokee Nation Entertainment officials have named Chad McReynolds as the new general manager of Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland.

McReynolds, a Cherokee Nation citizen, brings more than 20 years of operational management experience, the last decade of which has been working in gaming operations. He joined Cherokee Casino Roland in 2003.

“I started my career with CNE as a card dealer and a way to just get my foot in the door,” said McReynolds. “The gaming industry was always intriguing and seemed like a great way to make a living. During my years at CNE, not only have I loved the job, but I’ve also come to appreciate the great things the Cherokee Nation is doing with its gaming profits. It gives a greater sense of purpose knowing the work we are doing improves services and creates more jobs for the Cherokee people.”

During his 12 years with CNE, McReynolds worked at various locations in the casino's operations. He’s worked as a card dealer, concessions attendant, cashier, materials manager, poker manager, card games manager and, most recently, as the casino operations manager.

“Chad is a great example of our commitment to developing Cherokee leaders within the organization,” Mark Fulton, chief operating officer of Cherokee Nation Entertainment, said in a statement. “We look forward to watching his continued growth, especially given the vast expansion this property is undergoing.”

In his new role, McReynolds will oversee all operations at the property, which includes transitioning the entertainment destination to its new facility this summer. This summer, Cherokee Casino will open in its new $80 million, 170,000-square-foot venue, featuring 850 electronic games, table games, two dining venues, convention space and a resort-style hotel.

Cherokee Nation Entertainment is the wholly owned gaming, hospitality, retail and tourism entity of the Cherokee Nation. The company operates Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa; seven Cherokee Casinos, including a horse racing track; three hotels; three golf courses; and other retail operations.

Cherokee Casino Roland is located off U.S. 64 on Cherokee Boulevard in Roland.
