Top Empire State Casino Picks
- Empire City Casino (at Yonkers Raceway, Yonkers, New York) is a very popular casino destination boasting 5300 gaming machines including slots and video poker.
- For poker players – Turning Stone Resort & Casino (Verona, New York) is a top pick. Operated by Oneida Indian Nation this casino has 32 poker tables (as well as 85 table games and over 2,000 gaming machines)
Poker in New York
Many casinos in the state are also well equipped to host poker cash-games and tournaments, but unless you can find some underground or private games, the Big Apple doesn’t have much poker to offer.
However there are lots of card-rooms in Upstate New York. If you’re not old enough to order a beer, you can still play poker at a number of NY state venues. because Turning Stone Casino is 18+ and Casino Niagara, located close by – just across the border in Canada, is 19+.
Recently, Turning Stone held a stop of the Word Series of Poker Circuit, and it appears that they may do so in the future.
