Jamul Casino Resort announced that Mary Cheeks will conclude her tenure as president and general manager, ending a leadership run that began when she joined the property in 2018.
According to the company, Cheeks played a central role in the resort’s strategic evolution and helped establish a foundation for continued growth. Her tenure included oversight of the development and opening of the property’s boutique hotel, which the resort described as a milestone in its shift from a gaming-focused destination toward a broader hospitality and entertainment offering.

In a statement, Cheeks said leading Jamul Casino Resort through a period of growth and transformation had been “an extraordinary privilege.” She added that she was proud of the team’s accomplishments, including the property’s evolution and the successful hotel opening.
Cheeks is described by the resort as a longtime gaming and hospitality executive who has held senior leadership roles across multiple US gaming markets.
