More recently, I paid a fresh visit to the casino in spring 2022, this review was last updated April of 2022 to incorporate those thoughts. Still, it is a huge property in a relatively prime location, and as someone who at one point lived near the NY-CT border, I played there relatively frequently for a time. Yet it is also not the most accessible either, and because of its attachment to a horse racing facility has some unusual gaming rules that its new owner MGM hopes to change in the coming years.
Empire City Casino has an enviable location, being near the millions of people that call New York City home.
