Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World, owned by gaming giant Tsogo Sun Gaming, recently promoted Complex Brand Manager Louise Howell to the role of Marketing Manager.

She takes over the reins from Eugene Boniface, who has joined the Three Cities Group.

Howell will oversee marketing campaigns, events, entertainment and customer service at the 26 hectare beachfront entertainment haven, which boasts the highest footfall - around 8.5 million people - of all casinos in the country.

Originally from Port Elizabeth, Howell has called Durban home for the past eight years. She studied public relations and worked in a variety of industries before Suncoast's bright lights were too much to resist. Her gaming and entertainment career at the complex has since included roles as Employee Services Manager and Complex Brand Manager.
