New York Gaming Commission approves three downstate casino licences
New York’s Gaming Commission approved casino licences for Bally’s Bronx, Hard Rock’s Metropolitan Park and Resorts World New York City after a Monday meeting. Each bidder must pay a $500 million licensing fee and commit at least $500 million to capital investment; Resorts World expects to begin offering live table games as early as March 2026.
The approvals allow three casino projects to proceed, subject to substantial fees and investment commitments.
