Genting now operates 3,900 slots at the venue with plans to take total to 6,000
Resorts World New York City has opened the first floor of its commercial casino, adding 1,400 slot machines less than three months after the new facility became the city’s first full-fledged casino. The move, which brings the number of slot machines on site to 3,900, is expected to significantly increase gross gaming revenue and commensurate taxes to the state of New York.
“Since the moment we opened, our slot machines have been incredibly popular with the public, generating more than $230m in gross gaming revenue in just 11 weeks,” said Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East. “With these 1,400 new games, we will be able to accommodate more patrons and generate even more in taxes for the state.”
At the heart of the new gaming floor is the exciting Dragon Den, an immersive slot experience featuring 114 of Aristocrat’s most popular themes, including 48 Dragon Link games. Guests will have the opportunity to chase life-changing jackpots, including a $1 million progressive jackpot, while enjoying some of the industry’s most acclaimed gaming titles.
The gaming operation represents the first stage of a planned $5.5bn buildout at the site. By 2030, RWNYC intends to operate a 350,000-square-foot gaming floor with 6,000 slot machines and 800 live table games, a 7,000-seat entertainment venue, 2,000 hotel rooms, and more than 10 acres of public green space.
Resorts World New York City generates close to $1bn in annual gross gaming revenue and has contributed more than $5bn to New York’s public education system since 2011. Its expansion commitments include $2.5bn to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and a $2bn community benefits package.
Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) is New York City’s only casino-hotel, offering world-class gaming, upscale accommodations, exceptional dining, entertainment, and hospitality in the heart of Queens.

As the destination continues to evolve, RWNYC is realizing its vision of a fully integrated resort that combines gaming, hospitality, entertainment, culinary excellence, and guest experiences under one roof.
