RESORTS WORLD NYC PREPARES FOR FULL CASINO LICENSE

May 13, 2022 Malaysia Emerging Markets Industry Updates

Resorts World New York City is quite confident of its chances of landing one of the three full-commercial casino licenses in downstate New York. That is why Genting Malaysia’s property announced that it is offering a live dealer training program in an effort to recruit more individuals for its potential expansion into a full-scale casino facility.

In April, the New York State legislature officially included the fast-track of the three downstate casino licenses in the new budget. This move will accelerate the process by at least a year, and it would allow for three companies to launch a full-casino property in downstate New York. The gambling expansion would provide many new stable jobs as well as additional revenue for the region.

Currently, Resorts World New York City offers the highest wager in the whole of the country’s casino industry. And now, the casino provides more working opportunities as it starts a premium dealer training program. This initiative is possible after a collaboration with the Hotel Trades Council, and if it is awarded a license, the casino would be ready for the upcoming expansion of offerings.

RWNYC VP of Community Development Michele Stoddart shared that thanks to the partnership with HTC, the casino is able to offer these educational classes at no cost for all employees. According to her, through the courses, they will be able to obtain knowledge to advance their careers and learn the skills that are required for working at Vegas-style live table games.
