The question starts with a name that does not appear in the venue's public record
Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway is documented in publicly published reference sources as a racino in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York, listed under the type "Electronic table games" with an opening year of 2006. The term "Fudale" does not appear anywhere in the venue's documented record, and no source supplied for this article records a machine brand, a slot cabinet manufacturer, or any game title under that name. What the record does show is a category, not a catalogue.
The practical question behind the search is usually simpler than the phrasing: what kind of machines does this property run, and how would a visitor confirm what is on the floor today. The first part has a documented answer at the category level. The second part is a matter of checking the property's own current floor information, because machine inventory changes.
What the documented category means
Publicly published reference sources list Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway under the type "Electronic table games." That is a distinct classification from a conventional slot floor. It describes gaming positions where the outcome is delivered electronically, often in the form of video representations of table-style games rather than mechanical reel slots, but the classification itself does not enumerate individual machines, manufacturers, or titles.
This matters for the "Fudale slot machines" question. A reader searching for a specific brand or cabinet is looking for a level of detail that the venue's public list entry does not contain. The list records the property, its city, county, state, type, and opening year. It does not record a machine count, a manufacturer list, a floor plan, or any named game title.
Why machine-level detail is absent from the public record
Casino floor inventories are operational documents. A property may run cabinets from several manufacturers, rotate titles, replace banks during refurbishment, and split its floor between electronic table positions and other machine types. None of that is stable enough to belong in a state-level list of venues, which is why the list entry stops at the category level.
For a visitor, the authoritative current answer lives with the property itself. The venue's own website, its gaming floor information page, or its guest services desk can confirm what machine types and titles are physically present at any given time. That is the channel to use for a brand-level question like this one, not a static reference list.
How Empire City Casino is classified in its state list
The venue appears in the list of casinos in New York as a racino. A racino is a racing facility that also operates gaming machines, and in New York the gaming product at such properties is structured around electronic gaming devices rather than live dealer table games. The list records Empire City Casino under "Electronic table games," which places it in that electronic-device category.
The table below shows what the public list entry does and does not contain. It is a comparison of fields, not a verdict about the property.
| Field | What the public list entry records | What it does not record |
|---|---|---|
| Venue name | Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway | — |
| City | Yonkers | — |
| County | Westchester | — |
| State | New York | — |
| Type | Electronic table games | — |
| Opening year | 2006 | — |
| Machine manufacturer | — | Not listed |
| Machine count | — | Not listed |
| Named game titles | — | Not listed |
| Floor area | — | Not listed |
The opening year of 2006 is a documented point-in-time figure from publicly published reference sources. Facility details like machine counts and floor composition are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so any figure of that kind would need to be confirmed against the property's current published information.
Where the venue sits and why that shapes the visit
Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway is in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The city of Yonkers has published coordinates, and straight-line distances from the city centre to several reference points are available. These distances are measured from the city, not from the property itself, because the public list entry records the venue's city but not a property-level coordinate.
Straight-line distance is not road distance. Driving is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel times. The table below lists the documented great-circle distances from the city of Yonkers to the reference points supplied.
| Reference point | Straight-line distance from Yonkers city centre (miles) | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Manhattan | 17.4 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| New York City | 17.4 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Philadelphia | 96.6 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Atlantic City | 113.0 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Rehoboth Beach, Delaware | 166.3 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Lake George | 171.8 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Boston | 174.9 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Syracuse | 186.7 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Washington DC | 218.4 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Buffalo | 290.6 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Niagara Falls | 306.3 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
| Pittsburgh | 322.0 | Great-circle, city centre to city centre |
If a reader wants the distance from their own position, the method is the same one used to build this table: take the fixed coordinates of the city of Yonkers and measure the great-circle distance from their own coordinates. Road distance will be longer, and a route planner will give the driving figure.
What to confirm before you go
Machine inventory is the most changeable item in this article. A visitor who wants to know whether a specific brand or title is on the floor should check the property's own published gaming floor information or call its guest services line before travelling. The public list entry will not answer that question because it is not designed to.
Also worth confirming: the property's current operating hours, any entry requirements, and the specific gaming product available, since electronic table games and slot-style machines are not the same classification and a venue's mix can change. The property's own website and guest services desk are the authoritative channels for those current details.
