Licences & markets

New York State Gaming Commission chair Brian O’Dwyer said the state would apply strict integrity and operational standards when considering downstate casino licence candidates. Eight bids are under review by local community advisory committees, which face a 30 September deadline to vote; the Location Board is due to decide by 1 December, and the state commission is expected to issue up to three licences by 31 December.

The review standards and committee votes will determine which downstate casino bids advance towards up to three licences.
