After a year of construction, New York’s newest casino in Newburgh welcomed its first players Wednesday morning.
The Resort World Hudson Valley casino is located in the Newburgh Mall just 60 miles north of New York City.
The 60,000-square-foot casino will feature 1,200 slot machines, 82 electronic table games, and the Resorts World Bet Sports Bar.
This is the third Resorts World property in New York, but the first of its kind in the state: located in a shopping mall filling a space that was occupied by the long-closed Bon Ton department store.
A grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at 10:00 a.m. with a traditional Chinese lion dance performance.
