Honoring the Exceptional
Gemma Truman Poker cashier, Cannery
The poker-playing community is said to be essentially one big extended family. So too are the people who make their living from the safer areas of the poker room: in the cashier’s cage or the dealer’s box. For Gemma Truman, that’s the greatest part of her job as a poker cashier at the Cannery in North Las Vegas. “The dealers, the bosses, the players—everyone is part of one big family,” she said. She’s been working in the poker room at the Cannery for two years and has no desire to be anywhere else within the property. The Cannery is enjoying some success with its new poker room, and with people like Truman who look forward to coming to work staffing it, it’s no small wonder why.
