A decade-old deal between Nassau County and the Genting Group, which operates casino giant Resorts World, could mean even bigger payouts for the county moving forward.
Instead of operating its own 1,000 video lottery terminal casino within the county, Nassau County OTB gave the license to Resorts World New York City in Jamaica, Queens, back in 2016. In exchange, the casino has been sending the county tens of millions of dollars a year.
Genting Group initially provided the county with $9 million in 2016 and 2017, $25 million in 2018 and then an annual increase based on the cost of inflation.
Last year, the casino sent the county $31.4 million, according to OTB officials.
