The alleged licensing violations by a Long Island casino are not the fault of Delaware North, the company said after Suffolk Off-Track Betting Corp. made that assertion earlier this month.
Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel in Islandia is facing fines for employing as many as 26 individuals who either did not have a gaming license or were working under expired New York licenses, according to the New York State Gaming Commission.
But, Suffolk OTB, which owns Jake’s 58, claims the licensing concerns “date back to when Delaware North ran Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel,” according to Suffolk OTB CEO Phil Boyle.
But that statement is in serious doubt, in light of a response PlayNY received from Delaware North, which apparently only managed Jake’s 58 for a few months several years ago.
