纽约-周二，纽约市第一家拥有现场桌上游戏的赌场盛大开业。
皇后区的一家老虎机店度假村世界(Resorts World)正式为一个扩大的赌博区剪彩，该赌博区有200多种游戏，包括21点、骰子、百家乐和轮盘，以及2500多台老虎机。
该公司表示，将在今年晚些时候推出更多的桌子和老虎机。它还承诺在72英亩的土地上建造一个新的酒店、餐厅、一个7000个座位的娱乐场所和超过12英亩的新公共绿地。
云顶美洲东部公司(Genting Americas East)总裁罗伯特·德萨维奥(Robert DeSalvio)说，“我们计划斥资55亿美元进行扩张，这对于度假村国际集团和纽约来说，只是一个更大的开始。”云顶美洲东部公司是马来西亚云顶集团(Genting Group)的一个部门，在皇后区经营赌场。
纽约市的名胜世界已经在皇后区约翰·肯尼迪国际机场附近的渡槽赛道旁运营了十多年。
公司高管、民选官员和当地居民周二以仪式性的掷骰子来纪念这一里程碑。说唱歌手纳斯是该项目的合作伙伴之一，他也在出席者之列。
度假世界是三个项目之一最近获得了在纽约市经营大型赌场的州赌博许可证。
亿万富翁大都会队老板史蒂夫·科恩提出了一项81亿美元位于皇后区棒球队的花旗球场旁的硬石赌场，包括表演场地、酒店和零售空间。
巴利斯提出了一个大致的40亿美元的赌场位于布朗克斯区的渡口高尔夫球场，包括酒店、活动中心、会议室、餐厅和其他设施。
然而，另外两个项目还需要几年才能完成。
三个被批准的项目胜出其他几项提议在利润丰厚的纽约市地区的赌场许可证的高风险竞争中，包括三个赌场提议去曼哈顿。
四个赌场目前都提供桌上游戏。该州还管理着九个赌场没有现场桌上游戏，他们中的许多人也远离曼哈顿。
New York City's first full casino with live table games opens
NEW YORK --New York City's first full casino with live table games opened to fanfare Tuesday.
Resorts World, a slots parlor in Queens, officially cut the ribbon on an expanded gambling area featuring more than 200 games with live dealers, including blackjack, craps, baccarat and roulette, as well as more than 2,500 slot machines.
The company says it will bring more tables and slot machines online later in the year. It has also promised to build a new hotel, restaurants, a 7,000-seat entertainment venue and more than 12 acres of new public green space on the 72-acre site.
“With our planned $5.5 billion expansion, this is only the beginning of something much bigger for Resorts World and for New York,” said Robert DeSalvio, president of Genting Americas East, a division of the Malaysia-based Genting Group that operates the casino in Queens.
Resorts World New York City has been operating for more than a decade next to the Aqueduct Racetrack near the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens.
Company executives, elected officials and local residents marked the milestone Tuesday with a ceremonial dice roll. Rapper Nas, who is a partner in the development, was among those in attendance.
Resorts World isone of three projectsrecently awarded state gambling licenses to operate full-scale casinos in New York City.
Billionaire Mets owner Steve Cohen has proposed a$8.1 billionHard Rock casino complex next to the baseball team's Citi Field ball park in Queens that would include a performance venue, hotel and retail space.
Bally’s has proposed a roughly$4 billion casinoat the Ferry Point golf course in the Bronx that would include a hotel, event center, meeting spaces, restaurants and other amenities.
Those two other projects, though, are years away from completion.
The three approved projects bestedseveral other proposalsduring the high-stakes competition for a casino license for the lucrative New York City area, including three casinos that had beenproposed for Manhattan.
Four full casinos, all upstate, currently offer table games. The state also runsnine gambling hallswithout live table games, many of them also miles away from Manhattan.
