“‘New York City has never seen anything like what we’re planning for April 28,,” said Robert DeSalvio, president of Genting Americas East.
The casino will offer blackjack, craps, baccarat, and roulette, as well as thousands of slot machines with multi-million-dollar jackpots. Attendees will see the games on the reimagined third floor.
“New York City has never seen anything like what we’re planning for April 28. Once the Gaming Commission’s final testing is complete, live table games will be open and operating right here in Queens for the first time in the history of New York City. We are ready to welcome New Yorkers to this exciting new experience,” said Robert DeSalvio, president of Genting Americas East, in a written statement.
When the floor opens, Nas, along with Genting Chairman KT Lim, will be joined by many elected officials, community leaders, and entertainers. They will be participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and ceremonial throw of the first dice.
The expansion was undertaken by RWNYC, which aimed to build on the resort’s 15-year legacy of community partnership with a 5.6 million-square-foot proposal. It also promised to grow the casino, while creating thousands of union jobs, and generating billions for education and transit for Southeast Queens.
