5 Minutes With... Angi Truebner-Webb
What, where, when was your first job in the gaming industry?
I got my start in 2000 at Treasure Bay Casino in Biloxi as a junior financial analyst. I was fresh from Germany on a J1 visa, just trying to get my foot in the door. What was supposed to be a short-term opportunity turned into a lifelong career in an industry I’ve come to love.
What do you like best about your current job?
Without a doubt, the people. I love leading from the floor — being present, accessible, and connected. Watching someone grow into their potential, celebrating wins big and small, and creating a culture where people feel safe and empowered — that’s the heart of it for me.
What is the best piece of business advice you ever received and from whom did you receive it?
The best advice I’ve embraced isn’t from one person — it’s a mindset I’ve developed over time: Fall forward. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be a servant leader, stay humble, and lead with purpose. You don’t need to have all the answers — just the willingness to show up, listen, and learn.

What advice do you have for those just starting in the gaming industry?
Be curious. Ask questions. Show up early, stay late when needed, and learn every part of the operation. Relationships matter more than titles — treat everyone with the same respect. And don’t wait for someone to give you permission to lead — start now, right where you are.
How do you define “success”?
Success is building a team where people are proud to work, where guests feel valued, and where the numbers follow because the culture is strong. It’s not about personal accolades — it’s about impact, trust, and growth.
What is something you do each day just for yourself?
I walk the beach every morning with
my dog, Blue. It’s quiet, grounding, and reminds me to lead the day with gratitude and clarity. Then I grab my latte and reflect in my journal — it’s how I stay aligned and energized.
What is it about the gaming industry that makes it a good industry?
It’s dynamic, challenging, and deeply human. You need both heart and hustle
to thrive. There’s no ceiling if you’re willing to do the work — and the opportunity to change lives, create experiences, and build community is something really special.
