Adding to an already impressive roster of awards this year, Turning Stone Resort Casino has been honored with 16 of the coveted “Best of Gaming” awards from Casino Player Magazine, an authority in the casino gaming industry, which includes being named “Best Overall Gaming Resort” in New York State for the second straight year.

For the second year running, Turning Stone Resort Casino has been awarded an impressive double-digit number of Casino Player Magazine’s distinguished Best of Gaming awards. Upstate New York’s premier destination resort received a total of 16 awards for 2017, including its second consecutive year being recognized as the “Best Overall Gaming Resort” in New York State. The magazine’s annual Best of Gaming award winners are hand-selected by casino visitors themselves, evaluating gaming properties in a number of categories. Once again in 2017, Turning Stone was lauded across the board for its top-notch games, luxury accommodations, outstanding golf and expert staff, earning nine first-place wins for Best Hotel, Best Suite, Best Golf Course, Best Table Game Tournament, Best Poker Tournament, Best Blackjack, Best Craps and Best Live Poker.
“At Turning Stone, we continually seek to exceed guest expectations, so receiving more than a dozen guest-voted awards is particularly meaningful,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO. “The awards’ span across our various offerings, as well as the distinction as being named the Best Overall Gaming Resort, are truly a testament to our hardworking staff and our world-class facilities.”
In addition to the Best of Gaming Awards, Turning Stone has a long history of receiving top accolades for its unparalleled amenities and superior guest service. Earlier this year, the internationally-renowned Forbes Travel Guide awarded the resort with three Four Star ratings and AAA bestowed three of its elite Four Diamond Awards, distinguishing Turning Stone as the only resort in the entire northeast to earn three of both prominent awards. Turning Stone was also recently awarded a 2017 Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site.
