Bill introduced to allow FULL Casino gambling at all NY tracks

Would go to vote in November but would include all Harness tracks and Aqueduct if they can ever get it opened.

Full casino gambling? Never happen

When a state is 9 BILLION dollars in debt and gov't is threatening to shut down, anything can happen

Well the bill has been introduced and it looks like it will go to a vote by the people in November. And by the looks of Casino parking lots it will pass.

Agree. In PA, slot casinos have been open for about 2 years. Table games were considered to be way off in the future until the budget crisis hit. Table games were quickly approved and will go live in July.

so when could NYRA get table games than? 2025? While Yonkers gets them as soon as they are passed?

Hope it passes . Purses in NY need to be higher .

Not only could Andy offer picks, he could deal at the BJ table.

They'll have to put him on salary . He'll spend countless hours there leading NYRA's quest for effieciency . And he won't have to stoop any more .
