Resorts World New York City in Ozone Park, Queens, is aggressively hiring hundreds of new dealers and staff ahead of its relaunch Tuesday as a full-fledged casino. The expansion will introduce hundreds of live table games, including blackjack, baccarat, craps, and roulette, marking the first time live table games will be available in New York City. The hiring spree comes as the state Gaming Commission awarded full gaming licenses to three downstate venues, promising thousands more jobs. The company has hired 1,250 people for the expanded casino, with another 500 hires scheduled by the end of June. New dealers start at $41.83, with experienced dealers starting at $47.50, and new full-time hires earn an average of $45 an hour. The new hires, including veterans and career changers, view the jobs as stable, middle-class positions with a path to retirement. One new worker, Christian Perdomo, an Air Force veteran, said the salary is a massive step up for him. Diana Strain, a veteran dealer with over 20 years of experience, said the new environment is more tamed than in the past. The casino is also offering significant hiring preferences to Queens residents. The expansion is part of a broader trend of downstate casino development, with Bally's Bronx and Metropolitan Park in Queens set to open in 2030.
