Can you believe that despite having a city that never sleeps New York City doesn’t have an active casino industry?
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is looking to change all that.
“Do I support casino gaming at a New York City location? . . . Yes,” he said in a recent interview.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg also supports the idea, as long as the city gets some of the tax revenue of course.

“Whatever he decides to do,” Bloomberg said of the governor, “we’ll be supporting him. I just want to make sure that if there is gambling, some of those revenues do come to New York City. We need the revenues as well, just like every other part of the state.”
What a difference the online world makes. New York is already taking steps toward online betting, state lotteries (of course) were recently given an opening by the Justice Department. America’s canadian brothers are already opening their own online casinos. Though many are having security and technical issues, proving the best bet is from the experienced online sites.
With a online infrastructure on the way it appears the mayor and governor have decided they might as well bring in live gaming too.
Another powerful New York City politician, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, also offered support for a full casino at the Aqueduct Racetrack, already home to a new “racino” featuring slot machines and electronic versions of craps and roulette. So did Brooklyn Assemblyman Karim Camara, the head of the black, Latino, Puerto Rican, and Asian caucus in Albany.
Get ready NYC, one day you’ll be a hotbed for gaming as well.
