New York Casino Revenue Increases to $57.6 Million in September
New York state casinos generated $57.6 million in revenue during the month of September, marking a continued upward trend for the industry.
The total revenue figure represents a significant contribution to state tax coffers, with funds allocated to various public programs. The four upstate casinos – del Lago Resort & Casino, Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, Tioga Downs Casino Resort, and Resorts World Catskills – accounted for the total. This revenue stream is particularly important as New York considers awarding licenses for downstate casinos.
While specific breakdowns for each casino were not immediately available, industry analysts note that increased tourism and consistent local patronage contributed to the overall growth. For comparison, New York’s gaming industry continues to evolve; you can find more information about the New York State Gaming Commission here.
State officials have indicated they will continue to monitor revenue trends as they evaluate potential expansion of casino gaming throughout the state. The increased revenue provides further data points for the ongoing debate surrounding the introduction of casinos in New York City and its surrounding areas, a move that could dramatically reshape the state’s gambling landscape.

The Gaming Commission is expected to release a more detailed report on October 28th, providing a comprehensive analysis of the September results and outlining future projections.
