As Andy pointed out, they only have 2,200 machines running right now and will be opening a new floor with another 2,500 machines in December. If they end up getting table games, which is a very real possibility now that there is a legitimate entity running the operation and considering the State of New York's finances and how desperate the politicians here are for more money to spend, this casino can generate multiple times more than that.

I was there Friday to see Pal and the place was packed, including the racetrack portion, though that was likely atypical as it was Breeder's Cup Friday. I hope they plan on putting money to upgrade the track facilities as well as the Casino as it felt like the same old rundown Aqueduct for the horseplayers with a opening in the wall to elevators that was very nicely redone leading to the beautiful newly built casino. Parking was hell as well which is something I have NEVER experienced at the Big A.

That's funny you said that...I was there for the opening and it felt like you walked through a 40 year time warp.
