Plans to expand Jake’s 58 Casino were approved by the Islandia Village Board Tuesday night. This was the final hurdle for the $200 million project.
The village board gave unanimous approval of the final site plan, which will triple parking, renovate the hotel and construct a new building to house 1,000 more video lottery terminals.
Casino owner Suffolk Off-Track Betting agreed to address noise concerns from nearby residents with a 800-foot long sound wall. Islandia officials also suggested they add a raised pedestrian bridge to alleviate traffic.
Construction is set to begin in early 2025.
According to New York gaming officials, the casino took in $1 billion in gross revenue in the last three months alone.
