New York's First High-Limit Table Game Room Opens

Resorts World New York City in Queens has opened the International Room, the city's first legal high-limit table game area. The 13,657 square meter space offers 48 table games and three private salons. Players can play high-limit baccarat, roulette and blackjack.

Meghan Taylor, senior vice president of corporate communications at Genting Americas, said the room offers a level of service the city has not seen before. According to Taylor, players previously had to leave the city to find this kind of experience. Guests can receive food and beverage service around the clock without leaving the room. Private salons can be arranged on request, and entertainment options such as karaoke are also available.

The opening coincided with the 15th year of the facility operating in Queens. Resorts World New York City opened in 2021 on the former Aqueduct Racetrack site with slot-style video lottery terminals and electronic table games. Last year the facility received a full gaming license, and in December 2025 it received approval for slot machines, live dealer table games and sports betting.

Queens rapper Nas also attended the opening. Nas had been the face of the brand during the application process for the downstate New York casino license. The facility's total investment of 5.5 billion dollars will also include roughly 2,000 hotel rooms, a 7,000-seat arena, dozens of restaurants and bars, and 11 acres of green space. Betting limits for the room have not yet been announced; the company said it would share that information at a later date.
