New York gaming chair says casino bids may win fewer than three licences
New York Gaming Commission chair Brian O’Dwyer said the state could award fewer than three downstate casino licences after reviewing eight applications. He said the Gaming Facilities Location Board would assess each bidder’s character, fitness and operational capacity, including compliance records in other jurisdictions. The process also includes review by Community Advisory Committees.
Applicants must account for compliance records as New York assesses how many downstate casino licences to award.
