They were high-stakes presentations to the state’s Gaming Facility Location Board — which will make its official recommendations on what projects get a state gaming license in just two weeks.

Upping the ante, the five-member board toured the three sites on Monday. They even rode golf carts twice at two different sites.

Starting in the Bronx, where Bally’s wants to build a casino next to its Ferry Point golf course.

And onto CitiField, where New York Mets owner Steve Cohen and Hard Rock want to build a massive entertainment complex. That team showed it off in a 360-degree room followed by a site tour.
