Tioga Downs opens newly expanded gaming floor

NICHOLS, N.Y. — Tioga Downs Casino has opened its newly expanded gaming floor.

The expanded space is part of the casino that Tioga Downs opened in December.

It features 32 table games, including blackjack, craps, and roulette, along with popular casino games such as Pai Gow Poker, Let It Ride, 3-card and 4-card poker and the Big 6 Wheel, the casino said in a news release.

Tioga Downs Casino is now operating with a total of 944 machines that have “all new” games with touch-screen capabilities, downloadable credits, and bonus games.

Notable new games include the return of the Green Machine and Wheel of Fortune themes, along with TV-based games like House of Cards and Ellen.

Crews have started building the new 161-room hotel that Tioga Downs anticipates will open “later this year.”

It will include Ageless Spa, an 8,300-square-foot event center, and P.J. Clarke’s restaurant.

The new golf course club house is also scheduled to open in 2018, Tioga Downs said.

“Harness Racing season is only a few months away, and we’ll soon be announcing our 2017 summer-concert series. We’re excited for a big year ahead of us and are hiring for a multitude of people, including positions at the track and casino positions including table game dealers, food and beverage, and beyond,” Freeman said.
