Genting announced today the appointment of Bob DeSalvio, a 40-year industry leader, 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).

RWC, an integrated casino resort destination, was acquired in November by Genting and Kien Huat, the family trust controlled by Genting Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri KT Lim. RWNY, the highest-grossing slots casino in the world and the only casino in New York City, is currently developing a 400-room hotel on property, which is scheduled to open this summer.
