UNCASVILLE, Conn. — The parent company of the Mohegan Sun casinos in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, a partner in the planned Cowlitz Casino Resort near La Center, has elevated a key official to president.
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority announced Monday that Robert Soper, president and CEO of the Connecticut casino, will succeed Mitchell Grossinger Etess on March 30.
“The organization is in a strong financial position and it’s poised to prosper and grow,” Soper said. “It’s in as strong a position as it’s been in a number of years.”
Mohegan Sun has come up short in bidding competitions for new casinos in Massachusetts and New York, but Soper said it is pursuing a number of opportunities including a project with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe in Washington and others that have not been made public.
