New York State Senator Joseph Addabbo has stated that the downstate casino licenses for NYC may not be awarded until the start of next year, beyond the initial end-of-year timescale initially anticipated.
As reported by Sportsboom, Sen. Addabbo attributed the possible delay to legislative requirements, with the next sitting of the state not due to take place for another five months.
The lawmaker also indicated that there would be a hiatus on legal wagering on individual sports player awards, such as Super Bowl MVP, the Heisman Trophy, and NBA Rookie of the Year, for the same reason.
These proposals would also require approval and sign-off from Governor Kathy Hochul.
