Queens Casino Floor Comes Alive with Live Dealers
The gaming floor at Resorts World New York City now features live dealer tables following a Tuesday launch, significantly enhancing the South Ozone Park facility's offerings. This expansion, located near Aqueduct Racetrack, introduces over 240 tables for games such as blackjack, craps, and roulette, fulfilling a vision approved by voters nearly 15 years ago.
With the introduction of live dealers, Resorts World has cemented its position as New York City's first genuine full-scale casino. This move represents a substantial upgrade from its previous electronic gaming terminals, providing a more traditional and engaging player experience.
New York City Welcomes Full-Scale Casino Action
Until this week, Resorts World operated primarily as a racino, centered on video lottery terminals. The addition of live dealer tables fundamentally reshapes the venue and the city's entertainment options, delivering a complete casino experience within Manhattan's neighboring borough.
With more than 240 tables now operational, patrons have a wide selection of classic casino games. Its proximity to JFK International Airport also ensures convenient access for both local players and international visitors.
This development establishes a readily accessible destination for those seeking the authentic casino atmosphere, from card games to roulette, without needing to travel outside the city.
