Wind Creek Casino and Hotel off to Good Start in Alabama

ATMORE, AL - As reported by The Brewton Standard: "With an advertising campaign targeting almost all of Alabama and as far into Georgia as Columbus and Tallahassee in Florida, the more than 10,000
Wind Creek Casino and Resort  person crowd Wind Creek Casino and Hotel has brought in since its opening Tuesday is diverse in its geography but unified in its reviews of “beautiful” and “better.”

Better to Thomas Parnell of Perdido than the old Creek Entertainment Center and better than the casinos in Biloxi according to Curtis Bolden of Raleigh, N.C.

Brent Pinkston, marketing manager for Wind Creek, said he is getting the same reaction from visitors.

“Most people are saying it's hard to believe this is in Atmore,” Pinkston said. “They don't have to drive to Biloxi to get the experience we're providing.”

Pinkston said things are running “as smooth as you could want” for the casino, which is owned and operated by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. As far as the volume of people visiting the casino they are very pleased.

“We're still gathering all of our information,” he said. “We're definitely meeting (the casino's) expectations if not exceeding them.”

More than exceeding their anticipated amount of patrons, they are exceeding visitors' own expectations of Wind Creek..."
