Yellow Brick Road Casino Announces Arrival of Table Games
|

Since opening its doors in June, the Yellow Brick Road Casino has been a resounding success, exceeding expectations and providing excitement, food and fun for guests.

“Part of what has made all of the Oneida Nation’s enterprises so successful is that we listen closely to feedback from our guests and are willing to go the extra mile to meet their needs,” said Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter. “Table games will take Yellow Brick Road to an entirely new level, and we know that our players will greatly enjoy this next phase for Yellow Brick Road Casino.”

Central New Yorkers interested in training to be among the first dealers at Yellow Brick Road Casino can apply online at www.YBRCasino.com for Dealer School. Candidates will be trained for the variety of table games being offered at Yellow Brick Road Casino, including blackjack and craps. Morning, afternoon and evening classes are available. Tuition to attend Dealer School is $175 and classes begin on Tuesday, September 8th in Chittenango.

The striking new $20 million gaming venue has become a fixture in Chittenango and a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all across the region. The restaurants, bars and slot machines have become gathering places for Chittenango residents and tourists alike, and the iconic Cyclone of Cash has sent dozens of winners home with their pockets filled with winnings.

Bingo will continue to be offered at Yellow Brick Road until August 31, when the large hall will undergo a major makeover to redesign the space and accommodate an assortment of table games. By the end of the year the new gaming floor will be ready for the arrival of cards, dealer and legions of excited guests.

“From day one our guests have been asking for these table games at Yellow Brick Road,” said Halbritter. We heard them loud and clear—and are pleased to give them what they want.”
