Horseshoe Casino employees told some will be forced out of health benefits

CINCINNATI – Some Horseshoe Casino employees will be forced into part-time positions with no health benefits due to a company restructuring, according to an internal memo obtained by WCPO.

Casino managers announced at a staff meeting Wednesday they plan to hold a “bidding process” next week to decide who will still have benefits. The selection process is based on company seniority and social security numbers.

“Now that we have been operating for a full year, things have leveled out and we have a much clearer picture of our guests’ patterns in playing with us,” the memo states. “Thus, we need to modify our current table games team schedules to match the business patterns and volumes.”

According to a dealer at the casino that asked to remain anonymous, there were about 750 employees when she started working for Horseshoe in February of 2013. She said there are now about 330 workers.
