The Meadowlands racetrack owner says any new North Jersey casino would be a scaled, convenience-focused venue – not an Atlantic City–style resort.
This move aims to capture gambling dollars crossing state lines to New York and Pennsylvania, a shift that could reshape where New Jersey players place bets.
Jeffrey Gural, owner of the Meadowlands Racetrack, signaled he’s willing to trim ambitions for a Meadowlands casino after pushback from Atlantic City interests and local stakeholders.
Rather than a full-scale resort, Gural said the plan may start by converting the existing racetrack into a temporary casino and racetrack, then build an extension and eventually merge the two footprints.
