New York gaming chief says integrity reviews will govern downstate casino licences

Licences & markets

New York State Gaming Commission chairman Brian O'Dwyer said applicants for up to three downstate casino licences must meet integrity and operational standards. He said the commission would consider relevant allegations, including money-laundering cases involving MGM Resorts and Resorts World, which are among the bidders; local committees must vote by 30 September.

The commission's review criteria and local votes will shape which applicants advance for New York casino licences.
