EMPIRE CITY CASINO’S INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE RECOGNIZED

MGM Resorts has been named a Pinnacle Inclusion Index Company in the “2024 Seramount Inclusion Index.” Renowned as the preeminent organizational thought leaders to share best practices and develop innovative solutions for cultural change, Seramount’s recognition underscores MGM Resorts’ commitment to fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace across its operations.

MGM Resorts acquired Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts in 2019 and the New York gaming destination has continued MGM Resorts’ commitment to diversity. More than 70% of Empire City’s workforce members identify as diverse, including 55% of those in leadership positions. Forty-four percent of the workforce are female.
