US – Genting gets the green light to relocate VLT licence to Orange County shopping mall

By - 27 May 2021

Newburgh’s Town Board has unanimously approved an agreement between Monticello Raceway Management and Resorts World Hudson Valley to bring video lottery terminals and an electronic casino to the Newburgh Mall in Orange County, New York.

Genting Malaysia, which owns Resorts World New York City and Resorts World Catskills in Sullivan County, will invest $32m to relocate wa VLT operating licence from Monticello Raceway.

Newburgh Town Supervisor Gil Piaquadio said: “Newburgh Mall is struggling to attract occupants. This will be the first and only such licensed facility in Newburgh and in Orange County.”

Genting is looking to operate 1,300 video lottery terminals at the site along with Resort World’s signature lounge, Bar 360. It will create 200 to 225 full-time jobs, averaging $74,000 in annual salary with benefits. The VLT location will generate $3m in annual host fees split by the Town of Newburgh and Orange County.
