Caesars Indiana Names New General Manager

BRIDGEPORT, Indiana -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Edward Garruto, interim general manager of Caesars Indiana, the Midwest's premier riverboat casino resort, has been named general manager of the property.

"Ed Garruto is a seasoned casino executive who has held senior management positions at Caesars Indiana since it opened six years ago," said Caesars Entertainment President and Chief Executive Officer Wallace R.

Garruto joined Caesars Indiana in 1997, prior to its opening, as chief financial officer. He had responsibility for the resort's gaming license approval process and for the property opening in November 1998. He has since been involved in the completion of the property master plan. In 2001, he was promoted to the position of senior vice president. Earlier, Garruto was employed by Caesars World, where he held executive positions in Internal Audit and Finance at Caesars Atlantic City and Caesars Pocono Resorts.

Garruto was named interim general manager last month, following the resignation of former General Manager Barry Morris.

A Certified Public Accountant, Garruto earned an MBA from Drexel University in Pennsylvania. He also is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Garruto, his wife, Susan, and four children have resided in Louisville, Kentucky since 1997. He is a member of the Board of Directors and former Treasurer of the Harrison County Chamber of Commerce and a Board Member of the Caesars Riverboat Casino Foundation, where he also serves as Chairman of the Investment Committee.
