At Boyd Gaming Corporation, we’re proud to be one of the leading companies in our industry. But we’ve never forgotten our roots, and retain a family-owned culture to this day. Our Company’s story is unique and inspiring: one man parlayed an unflagging sense of optimism, a winning attitude with people, and a legendary work ethic into a gaming and entertainment empire. 

The Boyd Gaming story dates back to 1941, when Sam Boyd arrived in Las Vegas with his family and just $80 in his pocket. He worked up through the ranks of the Las Vegas gaming industry, moving from dealer to pit boss to shift boss. It wasn’t long before Sam had saved up enough money to buy a small interest in the world-renowned Sahara Hotel. He then moved on to become general manager and partner at The Mint in downtown Las Vegas, where he introduced a number of successful marketing, gaming and entertainment innovations.

After the Mint was sold in 1968, Sam Boyd started managing the Eldorado Casino in downtown Henderson. He had acquired it with his son, Bill Boyd, in 1962. Bill, a practicing attorney, earned his first interest in the Eldorado by doing all of its legal work. 

The birth of Boyd Gaming came on January 1, 1975, when Sam and Bill Boyd founded the Company to develop and operate the California Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. At this time, Bill left the legal profession, after practicing for 15 years, and began working full-time at the California. Seeking a niche for their new property, the Boyds decided to market the property to the underserved tourists of Hawaii – and one of downtown’s greatest success stories was born.

Their next venture came several years later, when the Boyds selected a quiet 13-acre desert parcel on Boulder Highway – halfway between the California and the Eldorado – as the site of their next casino. They’d call it “Sam’s Town,” after the father of Boyd Gaming. Its 1979 opening led to the creation of what’s known today as the “Boulder Strip” – and it was the first full-scale resort to cater to Las Vegas locals. Although many were skeptical a casino could succeed at the then-isolated location, the Boyds’ gamble paid off handsomely. Sam’s Town quickly grew into one of the most popular casinos in the Las Vegas Valley. 

Although famous as a leading businessman and innovator, Sam Boyd was well-known for giving back to his community as well. He helped introduce both the United Way and the Boys and Girls Clubs to Las Vegas in the 1960s. He was an early proponent of diversity in the gaming industry as well, becoming one of the first casino operators to hire women and African-Americans as dealers. 

Sam Boyd passed away in 1993, but the company he founded continued to grow and thrive under Bill’s leadership. Through a series of new developments and strategic acquisitions – including our recent acquisitions of the IP Casino Resort Spa and Peninsula Gaming -- Boyd Gaming grew into a nationwide company, operating 22 casino entertainment properties in Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. 

Although we’ve grown into a nationwide company, we’ve never forgotten Sam Boyd’s legacy of integrity, service and excellence. Sam Boyd founded a business based on a belief in treating people right, and his spirit lives on in the company that bears his name.

Choice of Health Care Plans ad Dental/Vision Coverage

At Boyd Gaming we respect the differences among individuals. This extends to our belief that there is no one-size-fits-all health care plan. This has led the Company to offer all team members a choice among three different health care plans so that they can get the medical coverage that best fits their needs.

All three health plan options include pharmacy coverage, including low costs for generic prescription drugs and a mail-order program for maintenance medications.

Dental Coverage / Vision Coverage

• No charge for preventative dental care
• Limited deductibles and co-insurance for more dental services
• Vision coverage provides both routine vision and primary eye care
• Low costs for exams, glasses, frames, and contact lenses

Company-Paid Life Insurance 

All team members covered by one of the Company health care plans are also covered by our Company-paid life insurance policy. Any dependents who are covered by one of our health care plans also receive Company-paid life insurance.

Voluntary Benefits
We also offer optional benefits that team members can choose to enroll in for extra insurance coverage. These options include:

Voluntary Life Insurance
In addition to the Company-paid life insurance that comes with our health plans you can also elect to receive additional coverage for you and your dependents.

We also offer our team members the opportunity to purchase disability insurance for short or long term disabilities.

401(k) Savings Plan 

We also offer our team members the opportunity to enroll in a 401(k) savings plan (as of the first of the month following three months of employment) - with the Company matching a percentage of your contributions. 

Additional Benefits

Diversity in Our Workforce

Recruiting, hiring and maintaining a diverse workforce is a key component of our diversity initiatives at Boyd Gaming. A variety of outlets are utilized • in all of our markets • to recruit and establish the most effective and diverse talent pool possible. Career fairs, ethnic newspapers, non-profit organizations, job recruitment web sites, and minority colleges and universities are just a handful of the primary tools used in our recruitment efforts.

We believe that each individual's uniqueness strengthens all of us as a whole. We manage by inclusion by having team members closely tied to the way we do business. We believe in and encourage the input, views, and ideas of all team members. We do this by asking for your participation in many areas, including focus groups, roundtables with senior management, and yearly opinion surveys.

These are just some of the benefits available to Boyd Gaming team members.
