Bally\u2019s also plans a Bronx resort at Ferry Point. Both developments target 2030 openings and require full construction from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p>RWNYC completed its conversion from a racino to a commercial casino on April 28. Table game revenue then climbed from about $4.9 million in the first reporting week to more than $10.4 million for the week ending July 12.<\/p>\n<p>Slot revenue stayed near $20 million to $22 million per week. Combined weekly gaming revenue rose from $27.2 million to around $30.8 million, with table games driving most of the increase.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSince the moment we opened, our slot machines have been incredibly popular with the public, generating more than $230 million in gross gaming revenue in just 11 weeks,\u201d<\/em> said Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East. <em>\u201cWith these 1,400 new games, we will be able to accommodate more patrons and generate even more in taxes for the state.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Casino Expansion Adds Hotel and Arena<\/h2>\n<p>The new first-floor casino area includes a Dragon Den with 114 Aristocrat games and 48 Dragon Link machines.<\/p>\n<p>Phase Two construction covers a 400-room hotel tower and a 7,000-seat entertainment venue. The full plan calls for a 350,000-square-foot casino, 6,000 slots, 800 live tables, 2,000 hotel rooms and more than 10 acres of public green space.<\/p>\n<p>RWNYC currently employs about 2,200 people. Management expects the project to add between 500 and 2,700 jobs by the end of summer.<\/p>\n<p>Company forecasts put state and local tax payments at $10.8 billion over the first decade. Genting also committed $2.5 billion for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and a $2 billion community benefits package.<\/p>\n<p>RWNYC said it has contributed more than $5 billion to public education in New York since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Bally\u2019s bought the Ferry Point site for $157 million in February and recently filed construction permit applications. Metropolitan Park began pre-construction in February, although local reports later described schedule delays.
