The casino operators who run Resorts World Catskills in Sullivan County plan to open a new gambling hall with video lottery terminals in part of the Newburgh Mall. That move would position what could be a major player in the gaming industry at the nexus of two interstate highways.
Resorts World has been authorized by the state since 2019 to open an Orange County facility to deploy electronic slot machines that previously were licensed at Monticello Raceway in Sullivan. The company initially scouted potential sites in the Harriman area, near another Thruway interchange, but shifted its attention to an existing commercial space about about a 20-minute drive north of Harriman.
