- Resorts World New York City won $135.2 million at live tables in its first 16 weeks, per state weekly reports.
- Wind Creek Bethlehem’s July table revenue fell 29.2 percent and Borgata’s fell 8.3 percent, a combined $8.7 million decline.
- Atlantic City’s total table win still rose 9.5 percent in July, and upstate New York casino tables grew 11 percent.
- Sixteen weeks of summer data settles nothing, and Resorts World’s own slot revenue has not grown since opening.
NEW YORK – Resorts World New York City has won $135.2 million at New York City’s first live table games in 16 weeks, while the nearby casinos most exposed to its players gave back less than a quarter of that in July, according to revenue reports from the gaming regulators in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
A Table Market That Did Not Exist In April
Resorts World opened live dealing at its Queens property on April 28, 2026, after winning the state’s first downstate commercial casino license, and the New York State Gaming Commission’s weekly reports now cover 16 weeks of operation. Total gross gaming revenue through the week ending Aug. 16 stands at $468.9 million, with $333.7 million from slots and electronic games and $135.2 million from an average of 242 live tables.
The table ramp has been steep. The pits won $4.9 million in the first reporting week and peaked at $11.1 million in the week ending July 19, with the most recent week at $8.7 million.
Slots have not moved with them. Weekly slot win has stayed between $18.5 million and $22.3 million since opening, and the commission’s data shows win per unit falling from $1,505 a day to $737 as the floor grew from about 2,500 machines to more than 3,900 by early August. The growth at the property is the table product, which New York City had never offered legally before this spring.
The question that framing raises for the legal sports betting and casino industry is whether that $135 million is new gambling or relocated gambling. The July filings from the two neighboring states carry most of the answer so far.
Bethlehem Absorbs The Deepest Cut
Wind Creek Bethlehem, about 80 miles from the Queens floor, reported $16,190,574 in July table-game revenue against $22,877,005 a year earlier, a 29.2 percent drop, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s July report.
That single property’s $6.7 million decline was larger than the entire statewide table-game drop of $3.9 million, which means the rest of Pennsylvania’s pits collectively grew. Wind Creek’s slot revenue was flat, off 0.2 percent, so the damage is confined to the product Resorts World just launched.
Pennsylvania’s overall gambling revenue still rose 6 percent in July, and the state closed its fiscal year above $7 billion for the first time, as covered in Pennsylvania Gaming Revenue Tops $7 Billion, Online Leads. The statewide health makes the Bethlehem table number stand out more, not less.
Borgata Slips While The Rest Of Atlantic City Grows
In Atlantic City, the Borgata won $22,069,777 at its tables in July, down 8.3 percent from $24,055,425 a year earlier, according to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement’s July results. The property’s slot win rose 6.5 percent, enough to carry total in-person revenue up 2.1 percent to a market-leading $81.6 million.
The Borgata’s table slide was not a market story. Atlantic City’s nine casinos won $78,060,283 at tables in July, up 9.5 percent, with Ocean Casino up 57.8 percent to $17.2 million and Caesars more than doubling to $7.6 million.
Year to date, Borgata’s tables remain up 4.8 percent, which dates the softness to the weeks after the Queens pits opened rather than to the first half of the year. Bally’s and Tropicana also posted July table declines, but both properties’ table revenue had been falling all year, before Resorts World opened its tables.
The July Ledger Favors Expansion
Setting the two identified losers against the new entrant makes the scale plain. Resorts World won $39.7 million at its tables across the four reporting weeks ending July 5 through July 26, per the commission’s weekly data. The combined July table decline at Wind Creek Bethlehem and the Borgata was $8.7 million. Every dollar of that could be attributed to Queens and it would still account for less than a quarter of Resorts World’s table win.
The rest of the region did not shrink to feed New York either. The commission’s weekly reports show New York’s four upstate commercial casinos won $14.4 million at tables in those same four weeks, up 11 percent from $13.0 million in the matching 2025 weeks. Atlantic City’s table market added $6.8 million in July. On the evidence the regulators have published, the Northeast’s table-game pie grew by far more than any competitor’s slice shrank.

Sixteen Weeks Is Not A Verdict
The caveats are real. Sixteen weeks is one summer, a season when Atlantic City always performs, and the New York weekly reporting periods do not align exactly with the calendar months the other two states publish. A first-year novelty effect could fade, and the pattern could look different once football season and the winter bus programs reshuffle Northeast casino traffic. Resorts World’s flat slot line is its own warning that the property is adding a product, not lifting every product.
The company promised expansion, not conquest. Robert DeSalvio, president of Genting Americas East, said in the operator’s license announcement that the project would generate “billions in new revenue” for transit and schools, with $1.9 billion in new gaming revenue projected for the MTA over four years. The early table numbers run ahead of the pace that pledge requires from an operation still years from its full $5.5 billion build-out.
The next test arrives on a schedule. The New York commission publishes weekly, and the August reports from all three regulators land by mid-September, the first month to show whether the Queens table ramp holds as summer traffic fades.
