Regulation FD Disclosure.

Empire Resorts, Inc. (Empire and, together with
its subsidiaries, the Company) is posting a Company presentation to its website in the Investor Relations area at http://www.empireresorts.com. The Company may use this presentation from time to time in conversations with
investors, lenders and others.
The information reported in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed filed for any purpose,
including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached
hereto, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
On May 18, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that
the resort casino being developed by a subsidiary in Sullivan County, New York shall be named Resorts World Catskills. A press release relating to such announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
This report includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include statements about our plans, strategies, financial performance, prospects or future events and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company and its subsidiaries may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words
such as may, could, expect, intend, plan, seek, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential,
continue, likely, will, would and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon
estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management team, are inherently uncertain. All statements in this presentation regarding our business strategy, future operations, financial position, prospects,
construction plans, business plans and objectives, as well as information concerning industry trends and expected actions of third parties, are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are
made. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions concerning future events that are difficult to predict. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to
differ materially from those set forth in this presentation, as well as delays in completing on time the development of the Companys resort casino, entertainment village or golf course, all of which are being developed as part of the master
planned destination resort in Sullivan County, New York. A more complete description of these risks and uncertainties can be found in the reports and other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions
readers not to rely on these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other
factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws.
