Jeff Gural, owner of both Tioga Downs Casino Resort and Vernon Downs Casino Hotel, is pleased to announce the promotion of Charlie Otto to President and General Manager.<\/p>\n

Otto was officially promoted from his previous position of Director of Operations at Tioga Downs to President and General Manager of both Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs. He has been serving as the Interim President and General Manager of the two facilities for the past six months. <\/p>\n

Otto is a veteran of the gaming industry, having spent 33 years in the casino business, 25 of which he spent in upstate New York casinos. Per his new promotion, Otto will oversee all operations at both Tioga and Vernon Downs. <\/p>\n

\u201cTioga Downs is performing better than ever before, and Vernon Downs has started performing better under Mr. Otto\u2019s leadership. That success of both establishments is, in large part, thanks to the guidance and direction of Charlie Otto,\u201d Jeff Gural, owner of Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs, said, adding, \u201cHis recent promotion is well deserved, and I have no doubt Mr. Otto will only continue and enhance the success of these two facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Otto\u2019s promotion became effective Nov. 1.<\/p>\n

Tioga Downs, which opened in 2006, offers live harness racing, casino gaming and live entertainment. Jeff Gural owns Tioga Downs in Nichols, New York as well as Vernon Downs in Vernon, New York.  <\/p>\n

Since opening the new casino in December 2016, Tioga Downs has expanded its gaming offerings to include 944 slot machines, 32 table games and a luxurious 12-table poker room, which is now affiliated with the World Series of Poker. The new Tioga Downs Hotel, which spans six stories and boasts 161 rooms, an events center and many other exciting amenities, officially opened in December 2017. <\/p>\n
