$१७.५ अब्ज न्यू यॉर्क कॅसिनो शर्यत संपत आली आहे

शेवटी, अगोदर निर्देश केलेल्या बाबीसंबंधी बोलताना New York Casino race has concluded, and all three parties have been awarded licenses to open their landbased casino resorts in The Big Apple. These three downstate casinos are pivotal in unlocking New York City’s gambling tourism potential, and they have been years in the making. The process, started back in 2023, has seen all sorts of ambitious bids and celebrity endorsed tenders that could potentially shake up New York City. The final three have a bit of it all, with a realistic casino resort extension, one ground up resort development, and most ambitiously of all, a full on entertainment district in the heart of New York.

This process hasn’t been without controversy, with public backlash, dramatic withdrawals, and insiders questioning how well the casinos – once built – would actually fare in New York City. After all, The Big Apple is not known for being a gambling hotspot, and cramming large casino resorts in and around its historic districts may not hit the ground running as the gambling board may expect it to.

New York City Casino Overview

Resorts World NYC, which is essentially an extension project on an already existing establishment, is expected to open its casino floor in 2026, and will be the first of the three to transform the NYC landbased gambling scene. The New York State Gaming Commission unanimously agreed to issue commercial licenses to all parties, something of an anticlimax to the heated discussions and lobbying that the parties had to endure in the months preceding this final decision. Each has to pay $500 million upfront for their gambling licenses. They will also be required to sign agreements with independent parties, who will make sure the casino operators will live up to their promised community benefit pledges.

This was all part of the deal to securing the कॅसिनो परवाने, as the parties had to provide forecast packets including jobs, community benefits, and supply proposed tax frameworks that would benefit the city of New York. Queens has won 2 new casinos, one in Willets Point next to the NY Mets’ Citi Field ballpark, and the other next to JFK International Airport in South Ozone Park. The Bronx will get the third, Bally’s Bronx, which will reuse a golf course in Ferry Point, and it will have strong regional road access from Queens to Long Island.

NYC Casinos in Figures

Here is a recap of the race in the most easily digestible way. In important stats and figures:

• 11 major proposals
• 3 license winners
• $500 million each in min. licensing fees
• 50,000+ total jobs (with construction costs). About 15,000+ permanent positions
• $17.5+ billion estimated investment, of which:
  • $4 billion for Bally’s Bronx
  • $8 billion for Metropolitan Park
  • $5.5 billion for Resorts World
• $7 billion in gaming tax revenue
• Up to 986,000 square feet of gaming space. Of which:
  • १.२ रिसॉर्ट्स वर्ल्ड
  • 286,000 for Metropolitan Park
  • 200,000 for Bally’s Bronx
• Up to 14,500 slots and 1,350 table games. Of which:
  • 6,000 slots 800 tables for Resorts World
  • 5,000 slots, 375 tables for Metropolitan Park
  • 3,500 slots, 210 tables for Bally’s Bronx

In terms of casino floor space and the number of games, these NYC Casinos are going to be a lot larger than most लास वेगास स्ट्रिप कॅसिनो resorts and the biggest casinos in Atlantic City. They are more on line with Macau casino numbers, competing against the biggest venues in the Asia.

You can’t really compare NYC casinos against Las Vegas for a number of reasons. Vegas is a gambling Mecca, it has built a reputation for being a gambling first, entertainment second city. New York is a historic city that is a financial and commercial hotspot, with a very different appeal for tourists. A better comparison would be the casinos in Singapore. They only have 2 at the time of writing, but the biggest Singapore Casinos generate massive revenue and put Singapore on the map.

A Final Look at the Three Bids

The first of the three casinos, Resorts World NYC, is set to partially open its casino floor in 2026, giving New Yorkers a taste of what downtown gambling may feel like. We have to wait a few years for the other two to open, as Bally’s is building from scratch, and the sheer scale of Metropolitan Park will require a good few years for the project to be set up.

Resorts World NYC

While Genting Group is planning an expansion on its Resorts World NYC project, it is far from simple. The $7.5 billion investment will go into developing a 5.6 million square foot campus near the current racino. The project will have a 500,000 square foot casino, with up to 6,000 slots, 800 gaming tables and premium VIP gaming spaces. It will easily be the biggest of the three. This project will create about 5,000 permanent jobs, with an estimated 14,000 additional jobs across the state of New York.

At $7.5 billion, Resorts World NYC will gain a 15 year gaming license, and we can expect a partial opening by the end of Q1 2026. The full casino resort complex is expected to be finished by 2031.

Bally’s Bronx

Bally’s Bronx has a big job ahead, converting a golf course in Ferry Point into a full on resort. It will include a massive कॅसिनो फ्लोअर with a hotel, entertainment spaces, and retail outlets. The project is a bit further from the other two, which may give Bally’s the edge over the other two establishments.

Costing around $4 billion, the casino will obtain a 15 year license and is expected to open sometime in mid 2030. The casino will house thousands of स्लॉट, with around 200,000 square feet of gaming space – the smallest of the trio.

मेट्रोपॉलिटन पार्क

Metropolitan Park is a joint venture between Hard Rock and NY Mets owner Steve Cohen. It will be located next to the Mets’ ballpark, Citi Field in Queens, and will cost over $8 billion to construct. The casino will have a 20 year gaming license due to the size of the investment, and aims to revitalize the Willets Point area, making it into a global entertainment district.

This will be no straightforward casino resort. It will have a 1,000 room hotel, a 5,600+ seater entertainment venue, restaurants, shops, and even a large public park. The casino itself is planned to be around 286,000 square feet large, potentially housing up to 5,000 slots, 375 गेमिंग टेबल्स and 30 tables for निर्विकार खेळ.

What New Yorkers Can Expect Going Forward

New York is among the top 5 states for the biggest landbased casino महसूल Nevada leads the way, followed by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and finally Michigan. The state of New York has 4 commercial casinos: Resorts World Catskills in Sullivan County, Rivers Casino, del Lago Casino Resort and Tioga Downs Casino Resort. The state also has a number of racinos, including Resorts World NYC – which Genting Group wants to expand, and also Empire City Casino at Yonkers, which MGM entered into the NYC casino race, but withdrew due to costs and market concerns.

These three casinos aim to push New York higher up the rankings, potentially challenging New Jersey’s Atlantic City casinos. With all three approved and good to go, construction will begin in 2026 and we will get an early taste of the NYC gaming scene when Resorts World NYC makes a partial launch.
