NICHOLS, N.Y. — Tioga Downs Casino Resort on Dec. 29 started operating the casino 24 hours per day every Friday and Saturday.
The casino will operate from 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Its Coasters Sports Bar will be open on a 24-hour schedule on weekends.
Since opening the new casino in December 2016, Tioga Downs says it has expanded its gaming offerings to include 944 slot machines, 23 table games and a luxurious 12-table poker room, which is now affiliated with the World Series of Poker, the resort said in a news release.
The Tioga Downs casino steadily generated between $5.4 million and nearly $6 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR) per month between April and October, according to data from the New York State Gaming Commission. Tioga Downs’ average monthly GGR during that period was $5.75 million.
The new Tioga Downs Hotel — which spans six stories and has 161 rooms, an events center, and other amenities — opened to guests on Nov. 6 and held a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on Dec. 1.
Tioga Downs which also offers live harness racing and live entertainment, started in 2006. Jeff Gural owns it as well as Vernon Downs in Vernon.
