The three remaining contenders for New York’s downstate casino licenses submitted supplemental applications to the New York State Gaming Facility Location Board on Tuesday.
Genting Group, which owns Resorts World New York City in Queens, N.Y., seeks to change that location focused on slots and electronic games into a full-fledged casino. Bally’s is proposing a casino near its Bronx, N.Y., golf course, while New York Mets owner Steve Cohen and Hard Rock International are working on a Queens plan.
Resorts World New York City said it would spend $5.5 billion developing the site and $2 billion on community benefits and said it is projected to provide the highest gross gaming revenue and casino taxes of the applicants.
