Metropolitan Park casino bid advances after New York committee vote

Licences & markets

A New York community advisory committee approved the Metropolitan Park casino proposal in Queens by a 6-0 vote, making it the fourth bid to advance to the final phase of the downstate licensing process. The state’s Gaming Facility Location Board will consider the four bids and send recommendations by 1 December; the New York State Gaming Commission is due to decide on three licences by 31 December.

The vote advances Metropolitan Park into a state review that will determine whether it receives one of three downstate casino licences.
