The Resorts World New York City casino proposal cashed in on a major win Thursday afternoon after a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) voted unanimously in favor of the project, propelling the Resorts World proposal to the final round of the race to obtain one of three coveted downstate licenses.
Resorts World, which currently operates as a “racino” offering electronic gambling machines but no live table games, has been operating in South Ozone Park for almost 15 years since opening at the Aqueduct Race Track in 2011. It has long been one of the favorites to obtain one of the three licenses set to be awarded by the State Gaming Commission this December due to the infrastructure already in place at the site.
