ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – State regulators say they are taking steps to combat problem gambling at casinos now being built in upstate New York.

The New York State Gaming Commission on Monday proposed rules aimed at the newly licensed facilities being developed in the Catskills, the Finger Lakes and Schenectady.

The proposed rules would require each facility to have procedures to combat problem gambling, to regularly report on results and to identify restrictions on advertising and signs.

The three new casinos could be opened in 2017.
