Supporting MGM and A Sped-Up Bidding Process
New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins has now come out in support of MGM obtaining one of the available licenses. Both venues have a shot at earning the license and are expected to be favored first. The region is currently home to two casinos, Resorts World at Aqueduct and MGM Empire City at Yonkers Raceway. Three casino licenses are up for grabs in New York State, as the downstate area preps to offer new commercial casino gaming options. New York Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins is fully backing MGM Empire City for a full commercial casino license.
