PETALING JAYA: While the potential delays due to local approvals that may push the awarding of new casino licences in New York City to as late as 2025, Genting Malaysia Bhd is expected to remain a leading contender.

       Operating Malaysia’s sole casino since 1969, the company is now aiming to secure one of three highly sought-after casino licences in New York City to expand its successful Resorts World casino.
