NYS Gaming Commission set to vote Monday on final approval for three NYC casino sites
Summary
The New York State Gaming Commission is scheduled to meet on Monday to finalize the approval of three full-scale casino sites in New York City. The locations—Bally’s in the Bronx, Hard Rock Metropolitan Park, and Resorts World New York City, both in Queens—were previously approved by the Location Board on December 1st. This decision marks a significant step in a years-long competitive bidding process. The commission estimates these casinos will generate $7 billion in gaming tax revenue and an additional $5.9 billion in other taxes between 2027 and 2036, supporting education and public transit. While the meeting is open to the public, no public comment will be permitted, and demonstrations may occur as they have at previous meetings.
