The complex would apparently create OVER 10,000 JOBS! Over 2,000 of those people would be working in the casino itself.

There isn’t any set date for when this would open (which is unfortunate because it sounds quite simply amazing) Durham Live is in the process of getting all its permits in order before beginning construction on the complex.
