Nikol Abelman
Nikol Abelman brings 35 years of gaming industry experience, including 28 years in her current role supporting video poker strategy, performance, and operator success. Her career began in Reno, where she worked at Fitzgerald’s, Harold’s Club, and Nevada Club before returning after graduating from the University of Arizona to join Horseshoe. She later rejoined the Fitzgeralds organization as part of the management team for Oneida Nation’s Turning Stone Casino, where she served as Supervisor of Guest Services and Entertainment.
In the mid‑1990s, Nikol transitioned to the manufacturing side of the industry when Mikohn (formerly Casino Signs) acquired Games of Nevada, an opportunity that brought her to Las Vegas. During her time at Mikohn, IGT became one of her primary accounts, ultimately leading to the long‑term position she holds today.
As Senior Sales Manager supporting Nevada operators and collaborating closely with Video Poker Specialists across the country, Nikol focuses on aligning product strategy, performance insights, and long‑term planning to drive measurable results. Her leadership is grounded in collaboration, clarity, and a commitment to elevating the Video Poker, Keno, and Multi‑Game player experience.
Nikol and her husband, Bill, split their time between Las Vegas and Reno and are proud parents of two adult children, Makenzi and Ryan. While she continues to refine her list of hobbies, exercising, boating, hiking, and traveling remain at the top.
She is grateful to call many of her customers friends and feels truly blessed to continue her journey in gaming with all of them.
