04.28.2026 Resorts World launches NYC’s first full-fledged casino gaming hall
Dozens of men and women queued up on a recent afternoon within the sun-lit lobby of Resorts World New York City, the casino that’s been operated for the past 15 years in Ozone Park, Queens.
They weren’t paying customers in search of slot machine glory, but rather job seekers in search of another kind of payout.
The casino, next to Aqueduct Racetrack and a dice throw of JFK Airport, has been on a furious pace to hire hundreds of new dealers and other personnel – ahead of Resorts World’s relaunch Tuesday as a full-fledged casino, with hundreds of live table games featuring blackjack, baccarat, craps and roulette, as well as thousands of slot machines.
