Gomes said at the time of low wages, particularly for what he calls "legacy used", or those who had been with resorts for most of its 32 years, have been essential to help the casino who have difficulties to keep afloat.Resorts is spending tons of money to try to rebuild the company who had abandoned the casino under previous ownership.
