Revamped Look for Point Place Casino, Revealed; Initial $50 Million Refurbishment Completed
The Point Place Casino, owned and operated by the Oneida Indian Nation, is undergoing a significant transformation with a $50 million expansion. The first phase of this overhaul, set to be completed on August 1, 2025, has already been celebrated.
The expansion project includes a dramatically enlarged gaming floor, renovations, and new amenities. The casino's gaming area will now feature 400 slot machines, with an additional 100 planned for the near future. The gaming floor has doubled in size, providing more opportunities for entertainment.
Renovations have also taken place, such as the remodeled Fireside Lounge. This cozy space now boasts a wood-burning fireplace and seating for 60, along with a 70-chair bar. Burgers of Madison County is also expanding its offerings as part of the Point Place Casino's breakfast hours.
The expansion isn't limited to the casino. A new retail store will open this fall, and additional updates, including the planned addition of a hotel, restaurant, and event space, are expected by the end of the year. The hotel will include 100 rooms and eight suites, further enhancing the casino's accommodations.
Turning Stone Enterprises, the management firm owned by the Oneida Indian Nation, is overseeing the expansion. Jerry Marrello, Turning Stone Enterprises' vice president, expressed his excitement about the updates, stating that they create more ways to enjoy time at the casino, and there's even more to be excited about in the months ahead.
The Point Place Casino is located in Bridgeport along Oneida Lake. This gaming and dining facility already offers 500 slot machines and 20 live-dealer and electronic table games. The expansion will undoubtedly attract more visitors and enhance the casino's reputation.
The Oneida Indian Nation, Seneca, and Cayuga nations are the three federally recognized tribes in upstate New York with Class III gaming compacts to operate traditional slot machines, live dealer table games, and sports betting. The expansion at Point Place Casino is part of a larger investment, with the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona receiving a $370 million investment.
The Turning Stone Resort Casino offers over 1,000 hotel rooms across five accommodation options, more than 20 restaurants and bars, an abundance of wedding and convention space, a concert venue, a spa and fitness complex, and 54 holes of championship golf. The resort casino also boasts 2,000 slots, 66 tables, a bingo hall, the largest poker room in New York, and a sportsbook.
