Under his leadership, the Uncasville property was one of just two gaming companies at the time to be named a Forbes “Best Place to Work,” a remarkable feat and a testament to Soper’s commitment to those who make successful casino and resort operations possible. 

Bobby Soper became a leader by following the principles of effective leadership he learned and lived by during his years in hospitality, specifically, the importance of humility, respect, accountability, and the value of relationships.

Mr. Soper is now the President and CEO of Sun Gaming and Hospitality.
