Waterloo, N.Y.  August 16, 2018 —The Southern region of Seneca County was declared a state of emergency by state and local officials following torrential rain and severe flooding in the area. Emergency crews and the National Guard were immediately deployed to assist with rescue and recovery efforts in the region.

Del Lago Resort & Casino’s general manager, Mark Juliano, worked with local officials to assess what the immediate needs were and rallied del Lago Resort & Casino team members to assist with the recovery efforts. Del Lago donated more than 500 house-made sandwiches, chips, cookies and other baked goods, and collected other vital supplies, such as paper goods and water.

All items were loaded onto a box truck and transported to the Ovid Firehouse, where del Lago team members, including members of the National Guard, Sen. Pam Helming, students from the Seneca Falls School District and staff from Sessler Wrecking assisted with unloading the del Lago box truck to distribute supplies to community members affected by the flooding.

Waterloo, N.Y. August 10, 2018 — Del Lago Resort & Casino hosted another successful Savor del Lago event on July 21, with proceeds benefitting the Sampson Veterans Memorial Cemetery (SVMC).

Located in Romulus, NY, on the former site of the Sampson Naval Training Station and Sampson Air Force Base, SVMC provides veterans and their eligible dependents with a dignified final resting place of military burial. SVMC is owned and operated by Seneca County under VA National Cemetery guidelines with day-to-day management and maintenance provided by the Seneca County Economic Development Corporation. SVMC hopes to eventually become a federally funded national cemetery or a VA-funded New York State Veterans Cemetery.

Del Lago Resort & Casino presented SVMC with a $1,500 check. The funds raised from Savor del Lago will allow the organization to ensure the proper maintenance and operations of the cemetery to assure veterans receive a dignified, military funeral worthy of their service.

30-year Industry Veteran Mark Juliano Assumes Leading Role 
at Finger Lakes Gaming Destination

Waterloo, N.Y. June 25, 2018 — Del Lago Resort & Casino will welcome a new general manager on July 9. For 30-year industry veteran Mark Juliano, assuming a leadership position with a major resort and casino is not a foreign concept. He has spent the greater part of his career working in a management capacity at multiple internationally renowned resorts and casinos, including Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Trump Entertainment Resorts in Atlantic City and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

“We are delighted to have a proven industry leader with a track record of enormous success join our team,” said Aaron Gomes, chief operating officer at del Lago Resort & Casino. “Mark is the perfect fit for del Lago and we look forward to having him at the helm of our world class property. Mark’s pedigree in the resort and casino industry, coupled with his role in economic development initiatives in and around New Jersey, brings the ideal mix of casino and resort operation and community experience. He’s perfectly positioned to support not only the continued growth of our property, but our region, as well.”

Juliano served as the Chief Gaming Officer of Marina Bay Sands, one of the world’s most profitable casinos, for several years prior to returning to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with parent company Las Vegas Sands Corporation. At that time, he became president of the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem. Under his leadership, Sands grew to be the most profitable casino in Pennsylvania, continually gaining market share due to the parent company’s investments in entertainment and ongoing facility renovations.

Throughout his three-decade career, Juliano has played significant roles in major casino construction and renovation projects, including the Mirage/MGM Atlantic City project, working closely with senior staff on the design and construction of the resort and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from 1999 to 2001, and the Atlantic City First Project, a program to hire 2,000 unemployed/underemployed Atlantic City residents. He also appointed a nine-member Advisory Council inclusive of all aspects of demographics across the minority community in Atlantic City and was responsible for coordinating several federal and state-funded Welfare to Work projects.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to join the talented del Lago team and become an active member in the community,” Juliano said. “Del Lago is an incredible property nestled in a vibrant region, and I look forward to contributing to its growth and the growth of the community.”

As general manager of del Lago, Juliano will ensure the efficient operation of the casino and resort. He will oversee all staffing operations and strategically manage the growth of the business.

Juliano received a Bachelor of Arts in history from La Salle University in Philadelphia. He was an active member in civic and community organizations in New Jersey, including serving on the advisory council of Sydney Kimmel Cancer Center/Thomas Jefferson University, Casino Association of New Jersey and chairman of Atlantic City Conventions & Visitors Authority.

Partners With del Lago Resort & Casino in One of the Top Revenue Markets for Industry

BOSTON (July 16, 2018) – DraftKings Inc. and del Lago Resort & Casino announced today that they have entered into an agreement to provide a physical sportsbook at the del Lago Resort & Casino located in Waterloo, N.Y. In addition to partnering together on a retail sportsbook, this agreement also enables both partners to create a mobile and online sports wagering option in the Empire State should legislation authorize online sports wagering.

DraftKings is well positioned to capitalize on the New York market through its industry leading technology and more than 10 million customers. The company began work on its sportsbook product a year ago, immediately following the Supreme Court’s decision to take up New Jersey’s challenge to the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.

“New York is one of the largest revenue opportunities for future sports wagering operators and we are thrilled to partner with del Lago Resort & Casino to offer sports fans a unique and novel sports betting experience, both at a physical sportsbook and on mobile when permitted,” said Jason Robins, CEO and co-founder of DraftKings.

Pending the adoption of a state law authorizing online sports wagering and corresponding regulations, DraftKings plans to leverage its experience in developing popular daily fantasy sports contests to launch a sports betting app along with a web-based platform in the state of New York.

“We see DraftKings as a fantastic and strategic partner in our sportsbook operation at del Lago Resort & Casino, and this deal represents a tremendous move forward for our property in general,” said Brent Stevens, co-chairman of del Lago and CEO of Peninsula Pacific. “Our partnership with DraftKings combines one of the most recognizable brands in sports with the top resort and casino brand in New York and represents an incredibly important moment for gaming in the Upstate region. We look forward to working closely with DraftKings to create a dynamic, engaging and innovative sports betting experience for New Yorkers.”

This is the second sports wagering partnership DraftKings has secured, having announced a similar partnership last month with Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J., as their licensing partner for online sports betting in that state. DraftKings expects to offer mobile and online sports betting in New Jersey by the start of the NFL season.
