New York’s casino landscape is one of the most complex and consequential in the United States, combining a long-established tribal gaming sector with a rapidly growing commercial casino industry. The state is home to five full-service casino resorts spread across upstate New York — from the shores of Niagara Falls to the Finger Lakes wine country, the Catskill Mountains, and the farmlands of Central New York. In 2025, the state took the landmark step of awarding three downstate commercial casino licenses to projects in the New York City metropolitan area, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and openings targeted around 2030. When those projects open, New York will have among the most valuable casino markets anywhere in the country.
New York has a layered gambling history. For most of the twentieth century, large-scale casino gaming was illegal throughout the state, though horse racing and off-track betting were well-established. The state created the New York Racing Association in 1955 and opened OTB parlors starting in 1971. The New York Lottery launched in 1967 and grew into one of the largest state lottery programs in the country.
The federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 opened the door for tribal casino gaming. The Oneida Indian Nation of New York — one of the six nations of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy — negotiated a gaming compact with New York State and opened Turning Stone in 1993 as the first full-scale tribal casino in the state. The Seneca Nation of Indians followed with their own compacts, ultimately developing three gaming properties in western New York including the flagship Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, which opened in 2002.
The most significant structural change to New York’s gambling framework came when voters approved a constitutional amendment in November 2013 permitting up to seven commercial casinos in the state. The New York State Gaming Commission subsequently awarded licenses in 2014 for four upstate commercial casinos: Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, Resorts World Catskills, del Lago Resort & Casino in the Finger Lakes region, and Tioga Downs in the Southern Tier. These properties opened between 2017 and 2018.
A second licensing round targeting the New York City downstate region concluded in December 2025. The Gaming Facility Location Board recommended three applicants, and the New York State Gaming Commission formally awarded licenses to Bally’s Bronx at Ferry Point, Hard Rock Metropolitan Park adjacent to Citi Field in Queens, and an upgrade of the existing Resorts World New York City video gaming facility in South Ozone Park. Total capital investment across the three downstate projects is projected to exceed $14 billion, with construction scheduled to begin in 2026 and openings targeted around 2030.
New York’s tribal casino sector is anchored by two sovereign nations: the Oneida Indian Nation and the Seneca Nation of Indians.
The Oneida Indian Nation operates Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, along with two smaller satellite properties — Yellow Brick Road Casino in Chittenango and Point Place Casino in Bridgeport. Turning Stone, opened in 1993 and substantially expanded since, is the flagship. The Oneida Indian Nation is one of the original six nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and holds federally recognized tribal status. Turning Stone operates under a gaming compact with New York State.
The Seneca Nation of Indians operates three casinos: Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca, and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in downtown Buffalo. Seneca Niagara is the largest and highest-profile of the three. The Seneca Nation’s gaming compact with New York State has been the subject of long-running disputes over revenue sharing; an agreement reached in 2023 included updated revenue-sharing provisions and extended the compact through 2043.
New York’s four operating upstate commercial casinos — Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, Resorts World Catskills, del Lago Resort & Casino, and Tioga Downs — were licensed in 2014 under the Gaming Facility Location Board process. Each property is located in one of three designated economic zones designed to promote upstate economic development. Commercial casinos pay state and local gaming taxes and are regulated by the New York State Gaming Commission.
Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, operated by Rush Street Gaming, sits on the Mohawk River in downtown Schenectady. It opened in February 2017 and features 1,150 slot machines, 67 live table games, a 16-table poker room, a 165-room hotel, spa, and multiple dining outlets.
Resorts World Catskills, owned by Genting Group subsidiary Empire Resorts, opened in February 2018 in the Town of Thompson in Sullivan County. It occupies a 1,900-acre site in the Catskill Mountains and features 100,000 square feet of gaming space — the largest single gaming floor among the upstate commercial casinos — with 1,600 slot machines and 150 live table games.
Del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo opened in February 2017, positioned in Seneca County between Rochester and Syracuse adjacent to the New York State Thruway (Exit 41). The property is a commercial casino resort with 205 hotel rooms and access to the Finger Lakes tourism corridor.
Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino remains the most visited casino in New York State. The 26-story tower contains 604 rooms and suites with views of the Niagara Falls gorge. The casino floor offers more than 2,700 slot machines and over 80 live table games including blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, and poker. Nine dining outlets range from premium to casual fare. Seneca Niagara has held an AAA Four Diamond certification every year since 2006.
Turning Stone Resort Casino is among the most award-winning casino resorts in the northeastern United States. The property features four hotels — The Lodge, The Tower, The Inn, and The Villa — providing more than 700 guest rooms and suites. Four golf courses on the property include Atunyote Golf Club, which has hosted PGA Tour events. The 5,000-seat Showroom hosts major national entertainment acts. Turning Stone’s TS Rewards loyalty program is linked through a partnership with Caesars Entertainment’s Caesars Rewards program, allowing point transfer and tier-matching between properties.
Resorts World Catskills brings the largest gaming floor to the upstate commercial sector. The 18-story all-suite hotel, Genting Palace dining, RW Epicenter entertainment venue (2,500-seat capacity), Awana Spa, and Monster Golf Course make it a full destination resort. The property’s Genting Rewards loyalty card connects to Genting’s global network of casino properties.
Each New York casino operates its own loyalty program:
Mobile sports betting launched in New York in January 2022 and quickly became the largest mobile sports wagering market in the United States by handle. The state operates a centralized server model with multiple licensed mobile operators paying a 51 percent tax rate to the state — among the highest rates in any US sports betting market. All five full-service casinos in the state also offer in-person sports wagering at retail sportsbook locations on their gaming floors.
New York does not currently permit real-money online casino gaming or online poker. Despite being the largest mobile sports betting market in the country and despite multiple legislative pushes in Albany, online casino legislation had not passed as of mid-2026. Proponents of iGaming legalization argue the state is forgoing several billion dollars in annual tax revenue, while opponents cite problem gambling concerns. The issue is expected to remain active in the legislature.
All commercial casinos are regulated by the New York State Gaming Commission (gaming.ny.gov), which oversees licensing, compliance, responsible gaming requirements, and tax collection. Tribal casinos operate under federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act frameworks with compacts negotiated with the state. Problem gambling resources are available through the New York Council on Problem Gambling and the state’s HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPE-NY (1-877-846-7369).
The minimum gambling age at casino properties in New York is 21 at most facilities. Some tribal properties may differ — always check the specific casino policy and bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
