Gaming giants and real-estate honchos are putting all their chips on the table to win one of three coveted licenses to operate a casino in or around New York City.
“There’s still a large market for land-based casinos in this country and the New York City metropolitan market in particular,” said Albany Law School Professor Bennett Liebman, a former deputy secretary to the governor for gaming and racing, to The Post.
Gaming interests have already spent millions of dollars on lobbying and media consultants to make their case to local and state officials as deadlines creep closer to submit bids next year.
