Veteran gaming industry consultant Brendan Bussmann, the managing partner at B Global Advisors, believes Resorts World New York City might have made a strategic error rushing to launch table games in late April. The Genting-owned property, expanded from the racino that first opened on the site of the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens in 2011, renovated its third floor and began dealing downstate New York’s first legal table games an estimated four years ahead of its competition. But at what cost?
“You only have one chance to make a first impression,” Bussman said Wednesday as a guest on The New Normal webcast, titled “Tribal Gaming in the Shadow of Manhattan: The Fight for Market Share in the Northeast.”
