“I truly think that 2024 should be the year for iGaming and iLottery in New York given the fiscal situation of the state,” Addabbo said on Thursday’s episode of the Lawyers, Lines, and Money podcast.
Addabbo cited the potential revenue generation from casino apps as a major reason for New York to consider legalization, especially as the state deals with a budget deficit. He previously estimated New York could generate $475 million annually in tax revenue from mobile casinos.
