Award-winning Empire City Casino has earned five more honors – including Best Casino – from Casino Player Magazine, America’s premier gaming lifestyle magazine based in Las Vegas, NV, in its “Best of Gaming” Awards in 2015 (October issue). The Yonkers-based casino, which is celebrating its Ninth Anniversary (first opened October 2006), received top honors in a quintet of categories selected from racetrack casinos across the country.
Along with Best Casino, Empire City is also number one for Best Roulette, Best Slots, Best Comps, Best Reel Slots, and Best Race Book, with the historic, century-old Yonkers Raceway harness oval as part of its setting. Empire City recently hosted the $1 million Yonkers International which attracted trotters from around the world.
“Offering our players the ultimate gaming experience is always our first priority,” said Ryan Murphy, Empire City Casino Vice President of Marketing. “So, we are delighted to be selected ‘the Best’ in five categories by Casino Players Magazine, and congratulate our staff on its excellence.”
