MONTICELLO, NY -- It's the biggest of the new Upstate New York full-service casinos, but state financial records show it may have had the smallest opening. Resorts World Catskills, the $1.2 billion gaming and event complex located off Route 17, opened Feb. 8, more than a month ahead of schedule. That meant it opened with just a third of its hotel rooms and a handful of its dining options. Some gambling offerings -- like the poker room and private gaming salons -- weren't operating yet, either. "We're open, but we don't have all the pistons in the engine," said Charlie Degliomini, executive vice president for the casino's owner, Empire Resorts. That could explain Resorts World Catskills'...

And the only casino currently operating in New York City, at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, is getting an upgrade to include a 400-room hotel with a celebrity-chef restaurant.

With three new NY casinos open, can they succeed? ALBANY — The third of four casinos planned for upstate New York opened on Wednesday, bringing with it more than 1,000 jobs and pledging to revive the local economy. The opening of the Rivers Casino in Schenectady also brought the state closer to the saturation of the upstate gaming market, raising questions about how they will all co-exist. There are now 16 casinos or racetracks with video-lottery terminals in New York north of New York City. One more, the $1 billion Montreign casino in the Catskills, is set to open next year. The facilities said they all expect to succeed, but the battle for the gambling dollar between Syracuse and...

Upstate New York’s four new commercial casinos aren’t making as much money as they thought they would. Now, two of the four are reportedly asking state lawmakers for a bailout. In fact, two Upstate New York newspapers claim Rivers Casino & Resort in Schenectady, NY and Del Lago Resort and Casino in Tyre, NY have both asked state lawmakers for some type of financial assistance.

Rivers operators projected the casino would generate $222 million in revenue during its inaugural year. It missed by close to $80 million....
