There are machines here that take your money. Sometimes they give you change. Other times they keep everything. Beware.
Shuttle buses make sure you have a way back home if the machine gets you.
Resorts World is a lame casino compared to the ones in Atlantic City or Connecticut. It is mostly slot machines and video poker and blackjack. Yes, that's right. The card games here do not have actual dealers or actual cards. Instead, you sit in front of a video game screen and play that way. They also have an overpriced food court as well. This place is just for people who want to gamble but don't want to go far outside the city to do so.
If you do want to go, there is a free shuttle van to the casino from Jamaica Queens, which is what I took to get there.
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5; when I went last night the restrooms were appalling. Granted it was New Years Eve so that might've been a factor. Also there is no REAL poker that you can play with real cards and a human dealer, not some hologram computerized robot lady. Granted that's probably due to some New York gambling law but still.
This is a great casino to go to for Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island residents because it's close to home, you don't have to pay any tolls for bridges or tunnels to get to it, there's free parking, and there are plenty of slot machines. Not to mention they usually have live entertainment on the stage, FOR FREE. Last time I went it was Color Me Badd. (Remember them? "I wanna sex you up" and "I adore mi amore") Last night it was Silento, who sings Watch Me (Whip/ Nae Nae). Plus there's an ENORMOUS TV that showed the ball drop at midnight and I think it shows sports when there's a big game on.
There's a wide selection of slot machines from penny, nickel, dime, quarter, 50 cent, dollar, five dollar increments. Who knows, there might even be a $20 machine tucked away in some corner for idiots. I always go straight for the American Original penny slot. You can bet 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 cents per spin, or $1 or $2.50 per spin! I go planning to lose no more than $40 each time, some times it all goes, some times I win it back or gain a bit, but it's always just for fun and a few hours of entertainment, not as a get rich quick scheme. On the American Original, it occasionally gives you a bonus spin where you can land on things such as 5 free spins X 3, 10 free spins x 2 (these winnings are multiplied by whatever you had your bet amount set on), a cash prize, or 15 free spins (winnings not multiplied). Patriotic music plays during this time and you watch your bonus money stack up quickly.
It's depressing to notice that some people get down to their last penny on the machine and then you see them pull out their wallets and slowly examine its contents. While it appears the wallet holds nothing but a Food Stamp debit card and some dust, they end up pulling a folded bill out of some secret compartment and with a heavy sigh, insert it into the machine hoping for a miracle. You kind of know that it was their rent money or bus fare to get home. Usually these types are quiet about their financial decisions, but last night one woman was loud and angry about her fate at the American Original Penny slot machine. She'd chosen to set her bets to be $2.50 per spin, so when she did get a bonus spin, she was anticipating a lucrative payout. However, when it landed on "15 free spins" that doesn't multiply winnings, she began to shriek loudly "15 FREE SPINS! I HATE THAT MUTHAFUCKA!" and this was followed by a colorful, curse filled rant that conveyed her disappointment at having been awarded a total bonus amount of $35.
In summary, this casino is a great place to kill an evening if you do not have a gambling addiction.
If you love slots, then you will LOVE Resorts World. If you hate slots and machine games, then don't bother swinging by.
Unfortunately, there aren't any other casinos in NYC so this is what we have to settle for and settle most people do. Despite the not so lavish setting and location, there are plenty of visitors on a daily basis who will try to gamble their life savings away here.
To be honest, the exterior of the casino and interior don't look all that bad. The casino is BIG with 2 floors of gaming for all. There's the Times Square level and Fifth Avenue level. There are NO dealer games here, but both floors offer plenty of slot machines and machines games for Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps/Sic Bo, Roulette, Three Card Poker and Video Poker. It pretty much looks like a regular casino, minus the physical dealers.
Lounges, clubs, drinks you ask? Yes, there's a bar inside and waitress service, however they're sparce. As for lounges and clubs, forget them as this is not a place people come to party at so make sure you do all your dancing somewhere else before arriving.
Food? Once again, make sure to fill yourself up prior to arriving because this is not your typical glamorous casino food court. Be ready to be greeted by Popeyes, a local burger joint, Subway and an Asian Noodles spot. OK, I love Popeyes to death, but it would have been nice if the food court was just a tad bigger with a better selection? Maybe add a few restaurants to boot?
For those who just love gambling, this is right up their alley. However, if anyone is coming here with any higher expectations then you better not step in or you'll just be filled with disappointment. For me? I knew what I was getting into when I arrived, but you still can't help but wish they had some real table games here. Oh the potential!
We went there for horse race but unfortunately there's no racing that day. So we went to the casino.
It is big with two floors of casino, food court and some stores. The service is bad, we called service on different machines for times, of course we shouldn't expect they would ever show up. lol
There are so many machines, but mostly slots and roulette. Roulette at $10 and &20 minimum bets, maybe there are higher ones. We came out with $48 from $100 after few hours play. Which wasn't too bad since I never is a casino person, just went there to kill a Sunday time. 😉 But definitely would be more fun if we could do horse race ;(
As to the food court, it's a messssss! Slow as h*ll! We just wanted to order 2 coffee, it's like 4 people in front of us, but we waited in line for about 30 minutes!!!!! WTH?! And please do me a faver, just don't buy the "starbucks" there! It taste like cardboard soaked in warter! Plus two grande coffee cost over $13, it's rip-off.
*Clears throat* I title this poem, Trash.
This casino… is trash.
The food selection… is trash.
The clientele… is trash.
The machines… are trash.
The staff… is trash.
Just avoid. Also don't come here too late. You might have to drop kick a worker for ignoring the flashing machines that indicate assistance is needed. No real organization and any ole body can filter here quite easily. NYC always offer watered down versions of certain things. Certain establishments are rarely done right here. Chain restaurants, casinos, water parks…
This was my first time coming to this casino and I had a great time besides all the money I lost. We came around 8 on a Saturday night and every parking lot was packed! The place is so new and clean which will change with time. They have the basic games, blackjack, slots, roulette etc but all digital which makes the games more approachable and faster. They also had a live band, a huge TV behind them as well as numerous TVs throughout and a small food court area. I would easily come back because of the location and cleanliness.
Let's be clear about something… Resorts World Casino is an electronic-only casino in New York City. Let that sink in. It's not going to be comparable to Atlantic City and of course not Vegas.
It serves it's purpose & appeases those trying to make a quick come up. And as with anything… Gambling is a risk so poor reviews because you didn't hit jackpot isn't fair.
Now, there are a TON of slot machines. More than anyone could care for really, but it accommodates the crowds that I'm sure frequent this place. The facility is held to a good standard as well.
I didn't have a chance to eat here but one beer was $9 so I can assume the food prices are jacked up too. Don't come thirsty or on an empty stomach.
The center stage had a live band and a few different people performing so even if you aren't gambling, you can sit out for some dope entertainment.
There were a handful of machines that needed assistance which never got tended to the entire time I was there. So, that's a testament to how staff reacts to issues here. No Bueno.
Let's be honest, Resorts serves its purpose. They're just a bit overpriced for what they offer. To have such a massive space almost entirely of slots (which have the lowest probability of payout in gambling period), please expect to lose money.
However, this wasn't a bad experience by any means. I actually made decent money on the blackjack tables. Ha. Good luck!
