The Rivers Casino will now open on Aug. 9 instead of Aug. 5. President Ed Fasulo says the extra days will ensure a flawless grand opening.
A casino spokesman says about 50 machines were damaged in the storm. He didn't know how many were damaged in transit.
The state gaming board approved the casino's delay request Wednesday.
Ultimately, the casino will have 3,000 machines and employ about 1,000 people.
