Philadelphia—February 24, 2010—Subject to all regulatory approvals, Philly native Wendy Hamilton has been appointed to the role of General Manager at SugarHouse Casino, which is scheduled to open summer 2010. Hamilton replaces Bob Sheldon, former president and COO of SugarHouse Casino, who stepped down earlier this year.

Prior to joining SugarHouse Casino, Hamilton served as General Manager of Philadelphia Park Casino (now Parx Casino) in Bensalem, Pa. where she was integral in planning the operational elements of the casino’s grand opening and subsequent operations.
