  • Mark Johnson

    Owner, Creator, Event Staff

    Mark opened the Heartland Casino in the early ‘90s with ten machines. Three decades later, his business has expanded to nearly 40 machines at Heartland, and another twenty-machine casino down the road at Lafayette Casino. His goal has always been to bring “A Little Bit of Vegas” right here to Aberdeen. The opening of the event center to host a variety of entertainment and events brings him another step closer to the realization of that goal.
