It was revealed this week that Resorts World Casino New York City as now provided more than $2 billion in revenue to New York’s lottery fund for education since opening its doors in 2011.
“Resorts World has once again demonstrated that its successful existence has benefited the people of our city and state,” State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) said of the South Ozone Park entertainment destination. “Aside from providing quality jobs, the financial assistance Resorts World has provided to our school system is certainly appreciated and needed. As a member of the Senate Education Committee, I know with each budget cycle, there is no guarantee that educational funds will be at the levels our children deserve. Having the influx of funds from Resorts World, and other aspects of our state’s gaming industry, has a direct impact of maintaining the quality of education in our state.”
