Resorts World New York City has added about 1,600 slot machines and more than 100 table games since it became a commercial casino in late April, but state reports show its weekly gross gaming revenue has stayed close to $30 million.
The Queens casino stopped operating as a video lottery facility on April 27 and began operating as a commercial casino the next day. Since then, its weekly total has ranged from $26.7 million in the week ending May 10 to $32.2 million in the week ending Oct. 18, according to the New York State Gaming Commission’s weekly report. It won $30.4 million in the week ending Nov. 1.
The casino averaged 2,465 slot machines and electronic table games in its first reported week, ending May 3. That number jumped to 3,716 in the week ending July 26 and reached 4,068 in the week ending Nov. 1. Table games held at 242 a day through mid-October before rising to 301 and then 345 in the last two reported weeks.
Weekly slot revenue has not grown with the floor. It has stayed between $18.5 million and $22.3 million, with the high in the first week. As a result, win per unit per day fell from $1,505 in the first week to $706 in the most recent week, with a low of $663 in the week ending Sept. 27.
Table games have been the stronger side. Weekly table revenue rose from $4.9 million in the first week to $10.3 million in the week ending Nov. 1, with a peak of $12.3 million in the week ending Oct. 18.
