SCHENECTADY — Mary Cheeks is out as general manager at Rivers Casino & Resort, a $330 million gaming hall that has so far fallen short of revenue projections.

Rush Street Gaming CEO Greg Carlin said in a statement Monday that Cheeks, who had worked for the Chicago-based casino operator for seven years, left to "pursue other opportunities outside the company."

The statement did not say when Cheeks left. She will be succeeded by Justin Moore, who previously served as Rivers' assistant general manager.

Cheeks' departure comes only nine months after the casino — with 66 table games and 1,150 slot machines on a 50,000-square-foot gambling floor with a steakhouse and a restaurant lounge — opened at the former American Locomotive brownfield site on Erie Boulevard.

The gambling hall is next door to the $150 million residential/retail project Mohawk Harbor, built by land owner Galesi Group, that also features a marina.

The Times Union and other media outlets have reported extensively that Rivers Casino & Resort and the other two state-licensed casinos in New York have not been hitting projected revenue numbers.

In September, the Times Union reported that Rivers had pulled in just 37 percent of the $222 million in gaming revenue it said it would make in its first year of operation.

Last month, Rivers brought in its lowest revenue since June, according to the New York state Gaming Commission.

Rivers executives in September would not respond to questions about its revenues, only providing a statement from Cheeks that said in part, "As promised, Rivers continues to provide high-quality jobs, along with strong community and economic benefits."
