Resorts World to open NYC’s first table games
Resorts World New York has announced that it will start offering live table games on April 28, 2026, as the operator is awaiting final testing from the New York Gaming Commission.
The new venue will have more than 240 table games like craps, blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, with supporters, including Governor Kathy Hochul, stating that the casino will create thousands of job opportunities and will bring billions in tax revenue, which will go towards educational initiatives.
Robert DeSalvio, president of Genting Americas East, commented:
“New York City has never seen anything like what we’re planning for April 28. Once the Gaming Commission’s final testing is complete, live table games will be open and operating right here in Queens for the first time in the history of New York City. Resorts World now employs over 2,200 team members and has already doubled our workforce and expects thousands more team members as the integrated resort is developed over the next three years.”
At the opening event, the chairman of Genting, KT Lim, and rapper NAS will be present, alongside elected officials and other community leaders.
Genting received one of the three New York casino licenses in 2025, which allowed the operator to add table games.
