New York Gaming Facility Location Board approves Resorts World NYC casino plan

Licences & markets

New York’s Gaming Facility Location Board endorsed Resorts World New York City’s plan to expand its Queens site into a casino. The New York State Gaming Commission has until 31 December to ratify the recommendation; Resorts World says it could open hundreds of table games by the end of March 2026 if it receives final approval.

The project still requires Gaming Commission ratification before Resorts World can proceed with its proposed casino opening.
