NEW YORK CITY, NY — Genting Group announced on December 17 the appointment of Bob DeSalvio, a 40-year veteran of the gaming industry, as president of Genting New York State, where he will oversee all operations at Resorts World Catskills (RWC) & Resorts World Casino New York City (RWNY).
Genting and Kein Huat acquired the remaining shares of RWC in November, and it already owned RWNY, which it calls the highest grossing slots casino in the world and the only one in New York City.

Most recently, DeSalvio served as president of Encore Boston Harbor, a $2.6 billion project that opened in June. He has also served as president of Sands Casino Resort in Pennsylvania, and he spent nearly 10 years at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.

“Bob DeSalvio has a proven track record creating and implementing successful marketing and growth strategies in the gaming and hospitality industries,” said Genting Group chairman and chief executive officer Tan Sri KT Lim. “Bob’s operational expertise combined with his unique ability to recognize industry trends and adapt to fast-evolving consumer demands will help accelerate growth at Resorts World Catskills and Resorts World Casino New York City.”

“Resorts World Casino New York City and Resorts World Catskills represent the future of gaming and hospitality in New York State,” said DeSalvio. “It’s an honor to join Genting, which has proven, with the success of Resorts World Casino New York City that gaming in New York is full of untapped potential, and I am excited to be on the frontlines of the action.”

Resorts World Catskills, Bob DeSalvio
