“In just one year of operation, it is clear that Resorts World Casino New York City has been an incredible success for Queens, New York City, and the State as a whole,” said Christian Goode, senior vice president of development for Genting Americas, Inc. Although it only recently celebrated its first birthday-the property opened its doors in October, 2011-it has already boasted more than 10 million visitors and shattered all previous records for slot play, generating some $825 million in revenues. The economy may have been in a slump over the past few years, but you wouldn’t know it by the runaway success of Resorts World Casino, New York City’s premiere gambling hotspot.
