Genting is to manage the Mashpee Wampanoag’s $1bn casino in Taunton, Massachusetts, US.
The deal gives the family that controls Genting three casinos in the north-east: the Mashpee, Empire Resorts through Kien Huat Realty, which is building the Montreign casino in the Catskills region of New York, and Resorts World at Aqueduct Racetrack that is managed by Genting Malaysia.
The Mashpee will break ground on the casino on April 5, with the first phase, costing $500m, to open by next summer.
