'We’ve got a gun to our heads': NYC casinos reignite New Jersey gambling fight
Summary
New Jersey lawmakers are reviving efforts to expand casino gambling beyond Atlantic City, citing threats from new New York City casinos. The state constitution currently bans gambling outside Atlantic City, but supporters argue expansion is necessary to protect jobs and revenue. New York's upcoming casinos have prompted racetrack operators to seek full casino licenses to remain competitive, while past voter referendums have consistently rejected broader expansion.
