New York Casino Revenues Up 6% Year-on-Year in July as Bally's Pitches a $4bn Resort

New York’s commercial casinos generated over $60.6 million in revenue in July, a rise of 6% year-on-year from the $57.1 million generated in July 2024. The latest report comes from the New York State Gaming Commission, the state's gambling regulator, and includes totals for slots, table games, poker tables, and retail sports wagering. 

The state's revenue increased 10% monthly, with casinos earning $55.1 million in June. While slots and table games both saw increases of 8% and 21.1% month-on-month, respectively, sports wagering revenue decreased 53.1% from June to July. 

All New York Casinos See a Revenue Increase

All four casinos in New York State saw revenue increase year-on-year in July, with one casino seeing a double-digit rise. 

Resorts World Catskills saw a 12.5% increase yearly, from $17.3 million in July 2024 to $19.5 million in 2025. Slot revenue accounted for 79.3% of this amount, for a total of $15.5 million, a 13.7% increase year over year. 

Del Lago Resort and Casino saw a 6.8% year-on-year increase, from $13.3 million to $14.2 million. Slots revenue totaled $11.6 million, up 9%, and table games totaled $2.4 million. 

Resorts World Catskills saw the lowest year-on-year revenue increase, rising by 0.7%, from $17.7 million in July 2024 to $17.8 million in 2025. Table games accounted for 44% of the total revenue, generating $7.8 million in July 2025, down 9.3% from the year prior. 

The lowest revenue generated last month was by Tioga Downs Casino, which saw its revenue rise 2.7% year-on-year from $8.9 million to $9.2 million. Table games revenue accounted for 7.4% of the total revenue, totaling $683,649 raised. However, this is a 30% decrease from the $976,890 generated the year prior. 

Bally’s Makes Its New York Casino Pitch

In the first round of community advisory committee meetings, Bally’s Corp has pitched for a $4 billion integrated resort in the Bronx to gain one of three downstate licenses available. 

This came after New York Mayor Eric Adams assisted the casino by lowering the threshold for passage in June and vetoing the decision when the project was rejected in July. These actions have been seen as controversial. Yet, Adams has maintained that his efforts ensure a wide field of bids, not endorsement. 

The golf course on which Bally’s is proposing its resort was purchased from the Trump Organization. The seller will receive a $115 million bonus if the site is awarded a license.
