Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Maryland, announced Tuesday that they have named gaming industry veteran Anthony Faranca Executive Vice President & General Manager.
The announcement comes as the Live! brand prepares for significant growth with the addition of two new gaming properties, the long-awaited Live! Casino & Hotel in Philadelphia, PA, and Live! Casino in Westmoreland County, PA, about forty miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
In addition, Live! Casino & Hotel in Maryland is putting the finishing touches on a significant expansion of its Event Center, which will accommodate approximately 4,000 seats upon completion.
“During this exciting time, it is our primary focus to place attention on the projects at hand while continuing to deliver the same level of customer service that our guests have come to expect at Live! Casino & Hotel,” said Rob Norton, President of Cordish Gaming Group. “Anthony’s appointment strengthens our corporate gaming division and positions us to enhance the results of our existing operations while pursuing development in other gaming jurisdictions.”
Faranca brings more than 25 years of diverse management experience from multiple gaming jurisdictions to his new role. He will assume oversight of the day-to-day management and operations of the Hanover Live! Casino location, one of the largest commercial casinos in the country.
He most recently served as Vice President and General Manager for Station Casinos in Las Vegas.
Previously, Faranca was Vice President and General Manager for Parx Casino in Pennsylvania, where he helped secure the property’s status as the number one revenue-producing facility in the state. He also spent several years in Atlantic City, New Jersey, as Vice President of National Casino Marketing for Caesars Entertainment.
