Manila integrated resort development LET Westside has completed three key appointments to its executive gaming team as it ramps up preparations for a planned opening in late 2024.

Among the new additions is Damian Quayle, former Chief Operating Officer at Australia’s Star Entertainment, who joined last month as Executive Vice President of Operations and has wasted no time in expanding his staff.

These include the appointment of Kevin Forde as Vice President of Table Games and Ian Garner as Vice President of Electronic Gaming Machines, IAG has learned.

Forde comes with significant experience working in Macau for Galaxy Entertainment Group, first as Casino Operations Manager at StarWorld and later as Assistant Vice President – Mass Gaming at Galaxy Macau. More recently he worked alongside Quayle as General Manager Product and Strategy for Star Entertainment Group.

Garner also brings extensive experience working in integrated resorts across Asia, having overseen slot operations for The Venetian Macau, MGM Grand and Wynn Palace in Macau and at The Grand Ho Tram in Vietnam. Most recently he served as Vice President of Gaming Operations for Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa.

IAG understands LET Westside will be ramping up its recruitment in the months ahead.

Coming at a cost of US$1.1 billion, the integrated resort is being developed by Suntrust Resort Holdings, the Philippines subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed LET Group Holdings – formerly known as Suncity Group. When complete, it is slated to incorporate a 450-room hotel with a casino boasting 400 gaming tables and 1,200 slot machines.
