Reports from CDC Gaming and other industry sources on April 20, 2026, confirm that Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) is set to launch live table games next week.
​Here is a breakdown of the situation:
​The Details
​Launch Date: The "live" table games (Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, etc.) are scheduled to open next Tuesday (April 28, 2026).
​Historical Context: This marks the transition of RWNYC from a "racino" (which only allowed video lottery terminals and electronic table games) to a full-fledged commercial casino.
​The Catalyst: Genting New York LLC was approved for a full commercial casino license by the New York State Gaming Commission. This followed a rigorous selection process where they were one of the three winning bidders for the downstate New York licenses.
​Why This Matters for Investors
​Revenue Boost: Analysts (including Fitch) estimate that the addition of live table games could significantly ramp up earnings, with projected EBITDA of approximately US$215 million for 2026 and reaching over US$460 million by 2028.
​Competitive Edge: Being the first in New York City to offer "live" dealers gives Genting a massive head start over potential competitors who are still in the early stages of development.
​Stock Sentiment: For holders of Genting Berhad (3182) or Genting Malaysia (4715), this is a major fundamental milestone that has been anticipated for years.
