The process to license three new Las Vegas-style casinos in the New York City area continues to grind away like a glacier scouring the side of a mountain. It’s not exactly moving at lightning speed.
A year after the state of New York authorized up to three downstate licenses to go along with the four casinos already built upstate, the seven bids continue to work their way meticulously through a process that doesn’t figure to end until the final months of 2023 at the earliest.
In January, the state’s Gaming Facility Location Board announced a request for applications for the three new licenses.
