Genting Group, one of the leading iGaming companies and the Malaysian casino giant, has paid $10 million up-front rent for its future casino resort, Resorts World Miami. The rent was paid to Miami-Dade, as a part of Genting’s 90-year-long rental of space above and Omni bus station.
The $3.1 billion Resorts World Miami is the proposed integrated resort for the Omni District of Greater Downtown Miami, Florida and is considered one of the largest developments in the history of the state.

The resort will have 300 rooms, 20 floors of apartments and 5,000 square feet of retail space over 36 total floors.
