Time to deal!

With a ceremonial first roll of the dice, the Big Apple’s first ever full-fledged casino officially threw open its doors Tuesday.

Resorts World New York City, which has already been licensed to operate slot games at its Queens compound for more than a decade, will now offer up over 240 table games as part of its recent multi-billion dollar expansion.

“Gambling is terrible, it destroys people. I’m here to get destroyed,” Kenny Callis, 45, a construction worker from Brooklyn, quipped to The Post as he eagerly arrived for the launch of the live table games.

“I’m going in today, I’m going to play blackjack and roulette,” he said.
