Monticello Raceway Casino to Close

Empire Resorts, Monticello Raceway Casino’s parent company, announced this week that the racino would be closing in April. The harness track is expected to remain open, for the time being, but no long-term guarantee was made in the filing submitted to the SEC. Nearby Resorts World Catskills casino will absorb the displaced workers.

Ryan Eller, Empire Resorts’ CEO, said

“This move will allow us to not only increase operational efficiencies but enhance the casino experience at Resorts World Catskills for our guests with access to the industry’s newest slot products and more than 150 live table games.”
