The Oneida Nation of New York is bringing table games and adding more jobs to its newest casino.

The Yellow Brick Road Casino will add blackjack, craps and other table games. As a result, at least 30 new people will be hired to work at the facility, which opened on June 2.

"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,” Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter said in a press release. "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.”

The table games will replace the bingo games currently offered at the casino. The Wizard Hall will be redesigned to accommodate the table games and live dealers and will be ready by the end of the year, the tribe said.

The bingo games will stop on August 31.
