New Jersey senator renews Meadowlands casino proposal after New York approvals
New Jersey state Senator Joe Pennacchio renewed his proposal to allow slot machines at Meadowlands Racetrack after New York’s Gaming Facility Location Board recommended three New York City casino licences. His draft resolution would let Atlantic City casinos operate at the Meadowlands and share in its profits; it would need approval from both chambers and voters.
The proposal could alter New Jersey’s restriction of full casino gambling to Atlantic City and create a new approval route for Meadowlands slots.
