Hello everyone!

Based on credible sources, I believe that in around a week, Resorts World NYC is going to open table games. From what I can tell, they are training hundreds (maybe even thousands) of dealers and they plan to eventually have EIGHT HUNDRED tables in a few years. That would make them have the most table games out of any casino in the entire world!

So, is anyone from this forum going when it opens? I would like to see it out of interest, but unfortunately I will not be allowed to gamble there because of my work - maybe I will check it out with a visiting friend who likes gambling in May.

A dealer I know who lives in another part of New York state applied to work there a while ago and they said they wanted someone with a year of experience who knew at least three out of the five core games. You might wonder what they consider the five "core games" in the casino.

1. Blackjack
2. Baccarat
3. Roulette
4. Craps

Can anyone guess #5?

I'm only going to feel dumb if they rank Big 6 higher.

If I were guessing I would have also guessed Big Six but it's not that.

On a side note I hope Big Six goes extinct or that they make a better version with less than 10% house edge on every bet.

Given where they are located...
Pai Gow, in various forms?

Yes

But in a specific form rather than various ;)

Yeah so the fifth core game is Pai Gow Tiles. Is this game making a comeback? I’m not sure but it’s certainly not dying :)

Tiles you can find almost everywhere you have Asian games/gamers. Easy to find- just stay as far away as geometrically possible from all cocktail waitresses and you'll be in the section where Pai Gow is dealt.

It's the regular Pai Gow poker that has mysteriously disappeared, replaced by the inferior and unpopular face-up version.

Fascinating. Their website mentions UTH & 3CP (even Sic Bo if you look hard enough), but they seem not to want people to know that they're offering (will offer?) the core game of Pai Gow.

The current website is talking about their current offerings, which are all electronic games.

That's the only place where I've seen robotic baccarat dealers dealing actual cards.

Wait- let me rephrase that- the only place where I have seen actual robots dealing baccarat with actual cards.

There might also be some benefit to not talking up "Drink and Push", favoring games that offer the house a better percentage.

I have evidence that Spanish 21 will be offered
I assume other “carnival games” will be offered too
