Bill Bissett: President of Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment

Delaware North has long been known for its ability to bring an exceptional live racing experience to fans around the country, but for at least the last decade, the company has become known as one of the largest and most successful casino operations management companies in North America.

Already the operator of successful venues in four states, Delaware North now has its sights set on New York City. Several months ago, Gov. David Paterson of New York announced we had been selected as the casino management company that will transform Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens into a gaming destination for the 12 million residents of the New York City region. Delaware North will be investing more than $300 million in the project.

As one of the most respected gaming and racing operators in the world, we have an unmatched advantage through our relationships with the Delaware North family of companies. These ties give us the edge when it comes to things like hospitality, culinary and retail, lodging, guest service and environmental management. We formed the Delaware North Gaming Hospitality Group to bring all of Delaware North’s capabilities to bear on the gaming industry.

It’s an extraordinary time in our history. One that will continue to challenge us and demand the very best we have to offer. And as we’ve demonstrated so many times during our 90-plus-year history, we will succeed.
