SINGAPORE - Chief casino officer and director at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), Mr Andrew MacDonald, has stepped down.
He had done so to “pursue personal interests”, said mainboard-listed Genting Singapore, the owner of RWS, in a bourse filing on Nov 2. It listed the date of cessation as Nov 1, and provided no further elaboration.
The 64-year-old had been “responsible for overseeing the overall casino business at RWS”, said the group.
In August, Mr MacDonald said in a LinkedIn post that he had been issued a persona non grata notice, prohibiting him from “entering or remaining on any part of Marina Bay Sands (MBS) integrated resort premises, including but not limited to the hotel, mall, convention centre and casino”.
The ban was for alleged attempts at poaching high-rollers, and was seen by industry experts as an unprecedented move.
Mr MacDonald, a veteran casino gaming executive, was an employee of MBS for almost 12 years. He was executive vice-president of casino operations at MBS from 2010 and became chief casino officer for MBS parent Las Vegas Sands in 2012.
He left MBS in July 2021 and joined RWS in September 2022 as chief casino officer after a non-compete clause in his separation agreement expired.
According to Genting Singapore’s annual report for the year ended Dec 31, 2023, Mr MacDonald’s total remuneration is listed as between $2,500,000 and $2,750,000.
Genting Singapore’s parent is Bursa-listed Genting Group.

In the casino industry, executive compensation and performance targets are generally guided by a mix of factors, but there aren't always specific industry-wide benchmarks directly tying executive salaries to exact multiples of revenue generated. However, some general principles might apply.
For executives like a Chief Casino Officer (CCO) in casinos, revenue targets often depend on a mix of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which could include:
1. Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR): The casino’s primary income from gaming activities, which represents the total wagers minus winnings paid out to players. A CCO may be tasked with achieving significant growth or maintaining a target in GGR.
2. Revenue per VIP or High-Value Punter Segment: High-value clients are crucial in the casino industry, particularly in places like Singapore where a large share of casino revenue comes from high rollers. A target might be set around VIP segment performance, often with a focus on increasing both the number of high-value clients and the average revenue per client.
3. Profitability Metrics: It’s not only about revenue but also the profit margins associated with high-value punters. Ensuring a high margin means that net earnings targets may influence executive KPIs.
While setting a target of 10x the base salary could be a useful guideline, in reality, industry standards vary widely. A ratio might more typically depend on benchmarks across comparable casino operators, which can sometimes range from 3x to 15x or higher for revenue impact per executive salary dollar.
Overall, actual target-setting is typically informed by a combination of market conditions, specific company strategy, and the executive's role in operational or strategic functions, rather than a strict industry guideline tied to salary multiples.
How to attract Tourists
when it main focus
is on milking casino
punters money
for max profits ?
Everything in their
premises are priced
to deter Tourists
from coming back.
Go see for yourself
the foodcourt upstairs
its a joke. Will
Tan Sri Lim take his
lunch or dinner there ?
it gave Tourists a
feeling that
they are in RWGenting
or RWPhilippines.
and yes , the Traffic,
Carparks and Security
staffs , Tea ladies and uncles are indeed mostly Singaporeans .
Why called it RWSentosa in
the first place ?

Why Singapore Govt imposed so many rules?? Is the 2 IRs truly created jobs for locals?? Certainly NO. At least over 50% are foreign workers. Are they so called "Foreign Talent"
LBH cried and strongly rejected opening the casino. Late LKY also rejected casino. GCT said that as long as he throw the dice, he will never allowed casino to be approved.
Gambling likely caused family disaster and increase ah long biz.
If we shut down Turf Club Hirse Racing why not shut down the 2 casinos immediately. Singapore is now miles away when to compare with HK. HK horse racing improve tourism and horse racing is a gaming sport.
Please shut down the 2 casinos to stop more crimes.
The 2 casinos do not benefit local employment but bring in more foreign workers, jammed MRT and HDB housing more expensive

Investors Genting SG shares only concern Profit generated.
i dont think Tan Sri Lim even bother himself about Tourism in his IR .
Didnt see him at any of IR attractions.
As per past rumours if the price is right
, i think he will sell RWS Lock, stock, and barrel .
RWGenting is ultimately his Crown Jewel definitely Not RWSentosa.
