Mohegan tribe to end management of Atlantic City's Resorts casino at year's end

The Mohegan tribe says it will end its management of Atlantic City’s Resorts casino at the end of this year. The move will conclude a management agreement the tribe’s gambling arm Mohegan Gaming Advisors made with Resorts in 2012 six months after the casino’s co-owner, veteran gambling executive Dennis Gomes, died. Gomes' death left Resorts without crucial experience and know-how to compete in the ever-more-crowded northeastern U.S. casino market. Resorts president Mark Giannantonio (Gee-Ann-Ann-TOE'-nee-oh) says his casino is well-positioned to run itself now. Resorts was the first casino in the United States to open outside Nevada in 1978.
