Introduction to New York Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2019
New York slot machine casino gambling consists of four casino resorts, nine pari-mutuel racing racinos, and eleven tribal casinos. Each tribal casino has either Class II and Class III gaming machines. Cruise ships to international destinations with onboard casinos depart from the New York Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Canadian casinos in Ontario are readily available across the border from Buffalo and in Montreal.
Only VLTs at Class III tribal casinos have a legally set minimum payout return. Payout returns for the commercial casino resorts are the only statistics available to the public.
This post continues the weekly series Online Resource: A State-By-State Slot Machine Casino Gambling Series, an online resource dedicated to guiding slot machine casino gambling enthusiasts to success. Each weekly post reviews slots gambling in a single U.S. state, territory, or the federal district.

Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in New York*
The minimum legal gambling age in New York depends upon the gambling activity:
- Land-Based Casinos: 21/18
- Poker Rooms: 21
- Bingo: 18
- Lottery: 18
- Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18
The legal age for gambling is 21 for casinos run by the Seneca Nation of Indians through the Seneca Gaming Corporation, but 18 for other casinos in the state of New York.
Tribal casinos in the state of New York had only Class II bingo halls until 1993. That year, a successfully negotiated state-tribal compact was approved for Class III Vegas-style gaming by the federally-recognized St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.
Per such tribal-state compacts, slot machines at all Class III tribal casinos are video lottery terminals (VLTs) controlled by the New York State Lottery. While these electronic games appear as typical video slot machines, the results of a bet are instead determined by the central lottery system.
At non-tribal casinos, the result of a bet on a slot machine is not determined by the state lottery server, but instead by a microchip in the machine itself or by a central computer located in the casino.
*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws apply to various forms of gambling. This information is not intended to provide legal advice.
Slot Machine Private Ownership in New York
It is legal to privately own a slot machine in the state of New York if it is 30 years old or older.

Other Gambling Establishments
As an alternative to enjoying New York slot machine casino gambling, consider exploring casino options in a nearby state. New York is bordered by:
- North: Canadian Provinces of Ontario and Quebec
- East: Connecticut Slots, Massachusetts Slots, and Vermont Slots
- South and West: Pennsylvania Slots and New Jersey Slots
Each of the links above will take you to my state-specific blog for that bordering state to New York.
Canadian casinos exist across the international border from the State of New York in the Niagara Falls area near Buffalo as well as the upstate New York area in Montreal.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the Ontario government’s gaming control agency, is switching operators for the casinos near Buffalo in the summer of 2019. Individually, Casino Niagara and Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort will no longer be operated by Falls Management Group LP but instead by Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment.
Payout Returns in New York
Given the many types of gaming regulations for slot machines in the state of New York, payout return limits and reporting statistics come in several varieties. I will review each.
Class II competition-style electronic gaming machines at tribal casinos are subject to tribal-state compacts only, which do not set limits nor require public reporting.
Class III Vegas-style tribal casinos have VLTs controlled by the New York State Lottery. These VLT slot machines have a minimum payout return of 92%. No actual payout return statistics are publicly available.
Betting results for slot machines at commercial casino resorts and pari-mutuel racinos are controlled on location per usual machine internal microchip or casino central server.
Commercial casino resorts and pari-mutuel racinos do not appear to have a minimum payout return limit. Actual payout returns are publicly available for both from the state gaming commission, but on separate webpages. These are weekly and monthly reports.
Be aware that win% is not provided directly in the monthly reports. For slots, a small calculation is necessary. Specifically, divide the Credits Won column by the Credits Played column then multiply the result by 100% to get the percentage of payout returned to the player.
For the weekly reports, the formula for win% is slightly different. In these reports, Credits Won is not directly available but calculated by adding together the two columns Promotional Slot Gaming Credits and Slot ETG GGR.
These reports are in pdf format but also as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which, if you already use and have Excel, makes this calculation relatively easy. The payout return for the current fiscal year is at the bottom of the Credits Won column.
Payout return statistics for each casino resort is publicly available at the Commission’s Commercial Gaming Reports webpage. The monthly payout return for February 2019 at each casino resort was:
- Del Lago Resort & Casino: 90.79%
- Resorts World Catskills: 90.98%
- Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady: 90.55%
- Tioga Downs: 91.38%
In February 2019, the highest payout return for a commercial casino resort was at Tioga Downs with 91.38% while the lowest payout return was at Rivers Casino with 90.55%.
Payout return statistics for VLT-style video slot machines at racinos is publicly available at the Commission’s Video Gaming Reports webpage. The monthly payout return for February 2019 at each racino including an entry for all racinos in the state was:
- Batavia Downs Gaming & Hotel: 91.52%
- Empire City Casino: 92.99%
- Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack: 92.18%
- Hamburg Gaming at The Fairgrounds: 91.53%
- Jake’s 58 Hotel & Casino: 93.88%
- Monticello Gaming & Raceway: 92.44%
- Nassau Downs at Resorts World New York City: 97.39%
- Resorts World New York City: 94.17%
- Saratoga Casino Hotel: 92.17%
- Vernon Downs Casino Hotel: 91.40%
In February 2019, the highest payout return for a pari-mutuel racino was at Nassau Downs at Resorts World New York City with 97.39% while the lowest payout return was at Vernon Downs with 91.40%. For the same month, the overall state total was 94.08%.

Turning Stone celebrates 25th anniversary
July 17, 2018
The Turning Stone Resort Casino opened 25 years ago today. Located in Upstate New York, the casino resort is owned by the Oneida Indian Nation. It is the flagship casino resort for the tribe.
A celebration was held in honor of the anniversary in the Showroom. The room consisted of officials from Central New York and Oneida County. Also, hundreds of employees. Some of which have been with the casino resort since the opening 25 years ago.
A cake was made by the pastry chefs at the resort. It was designed as a replica of the Turning Stone Resort Casino property. It will be on display for guests to see in The Winter Garden at Turning Stone.
In the 1980's the tribe opened a bingo hall. In the 1990's the idea of expanded the bingo parlor into a casino began putting plans together. Over time, they faced lawsuits and other hurtles in their project. The tribe continued to push forward and eventually were able to grow their enterprise into the large casino resort that it is today.
In 1993 the original casino building was opened. Located on 400 acres in Verona. Two years later slot machines were added. Also, the bingo parlor was moved to a new location on Patrick Road. In 2002, the building was renovated that enlarged the gaming floor to its current layout.
The Turning Stone Casino Resort has also been a source for needed employment for the area. In 1995 Griffiss Air Force Base closed. Many people were laid off. The casino resort offered employment opportunities for many of those people.
Throughout the summer months, special events will be held to continue the casino resort's 25th anniversary. It is expected that this fall there will be an announcement regarding the future expansion of the casino.
Oneida Nation Opposes NY Sports Betting Bill
June 14, 2018
Opposition to sports betting in New York State has been voiced by the Oneida Indian Nation. Recently the tribe submitted a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo stating their disagreement with the state legislature.
Point Place Casino and Turning Stone Resort are both owned by the tribe.
The tribe has been long opposed to the legalization of sports betting in New York. They believe it is a violation of their gaming compact with the state to allow sports betting to be offered at other gaming venues outside of the Oneida Indian Nation owned venues.
Under the proposed law the game could be operated by kiosks, phone apps, and other computer based means. The compact states that gambling and casino gaming will take place at no more than seven authorized casinos. If the new law goes into effect, the tribe believes this would be a violation since the game could be offered through a variety of different gaming options.
Arrangements and plans to offer sports betting are underway for the Oneida reservation. No date has been released for when the game will be offered. However, the tribe did state in a statement it would be in the near future. That statement was released on Monday by Joel Barkin, a spokesman for the tribe.
Sports betting at commercial casinos in New York was passed in a 2013 law. However, it is not known at this time if those gaming venues will begin the operation of the new game. New laws need to be approved first in order to expand wagering. In May it is expected that commercial casinos will begin offering sports betting.
Turning Stone Casino will add sports betting
May 14, 2018
After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sports betting could be now be offered, an announcement was made by the Oneida Indians. The tribe will begin to operate sports betting as one of their games. They are located in central New York in Verona. They are the owners of Turning Stone Casino.
The ruling over turned the previous federal law and gave authority to states to determine if they would allow the game to be operated.
The tribe intends to begin operating the game soon. Plans have been in the process since the law was being challenged and being heard by the courts.
Under the gaming compact negotiated between the state of New York and the Oneidas, allows for their casino to operate any of the state approved games. Additional approval is not required to be given from the state for the tribe to begin offering sports betting.
There are currently a variety of different games offered at the tribe's casinos. Sports betting will now be added to the list of games. The official start date has not been released. However, it will be soon.
The third casino owned by the tribe opened earlier this year.
The addition of sports betting to the list of offered games at the casinos will increase the amount of employees needed. The new game will also bring more guests.
The tribal nation intends to add sports betting to their list of offered games as a way to bring new revenue opportunities.
