Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City, where he has held
executive positions since 2010. Jason L. Gregorec, who most
recently served as the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of
Greektown Casino-Hotel in Detroit, Michigan, will succeed Steve

Eldorado’s ongoing commitment to driving operational excellence,
unparalleled guest experiences, talent development and a positive
corporate culture to support the Company’s continued growth.
Mr. Callender brings over 40 years of proven gaming industry
experience to his new position, where he will report to Anthony L.

In his new role, Mr. Callender will have operational responsibility
for Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City, NJ; Eldorado Scioto

responsibility, eventually assuming the role of Vice President of
Casino Operations. Over the following years, Mr. Callender served
as Casino Manager for the Atlantic City Hilton, and Senior Vice
President of Table Operations at Bally's Atlantic City, where he
was instrumental in integrating the acquired Claridge Casino into

Hotel, Atlantic City as Senior Vice President of Operations, he
moved to Tropicana as Vice President of Table Games in 2010.
Mr. Gregorec is a gaming industry veteran with 25 years of
experience and a strong record of managing day to day operations,
elevating guest service and experiences, driving financial
performance, coaching employees and building culture through

and Jason have extensive, proven gaming industry careers and deep
experience that are an excellent match with their new positions and
Eldorado’s expanded operating base. We are confident that our
facilities and the property management teams in Steve’s region will
benefit from his vast industry knowledge and experience. Likewise,
Jason’s successful track record in many of the country’s most
competitive gaming markets and his focus on the communities where
he has operated make him ideally suited to extend Steve’s success
at Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City, which has performed
very well since Eldorado’s acquisition of the property last
fall.”
