A casino is a gambling establishment where patrons can gamble by playing games of chance or in some cases with an element of skill. The games are conducted by casino employees known as croupiers or dealers. Generally, the casino has an advantage over the player that is mathematically determined and described as the house edge. The size of the house edge varies from game to game. Some casinos also offer other forms of gaming, such as bingo and pull-tab games.

Casinos are generally open 24/7. In the United States, there are more than 1,000 casinos. Some are operated by federally recognized tribes and some are commercial or mixed-use facilities, which combine gambling with other amenities such as restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues. Those who wish to gamble must be at least 21 years of age.

The first step to gambling responsibly is to decide how much money you will bet and stick to it. You can also use support resources to help you manage your behavior and prevent problem gambling. You can find these resources at national organizations like the National Council on Problem Gambling and state organizations, which offer confidential helplines, counseling and self-exclusion. In addition, many casinos have their own dedicated helplines and support centers for problem gambling. Located near the world-famous Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline, Resorts World is the largest casino in New York City proper, with 5,500 slot machines and more than 100 tables. There is also an extensive food and beverage offering, including a range of buffet options and specialty restaurants.
