"Big Apple Takes a Gamble: New York City's First Full-Scale Casino Opens Its Doors. After a long-awaited wait of over a decade, the city that never sleeps has finally welcomed its first full-scale casino with live table games. The historic opening marks a significant milestone in New York's expanding gaming industry, which was greenlit by voters in 2013. As the city's first casino, Resorts World New York City is expected to bring in a new wave of entertainment and economic activity, but concerns over problem gaming and community impact remain a pressing issue for local residents and officials."
New York City's first full-scale casino with live table games opened to gamblers more than a decade after New York voters approved an expansion of gambling.
