A state board will soon recommend up to three companies for full casino licenses in New York City. The state's gaming commission is expected to approve these final choices.
This decision marks the last phase of a high-stakes competition. Several major developers have proposed multi-billion dollar resort complexes for the city.
The selected licenses will allow for full-scale gambling operations. These include table games and slot machines, beyond the current electronic betting terminals in the area.
The state's final approval will significantly reshape the region's entertainment and economic landscape. The new resorts are projected to generate substantial tax revenue and thousands of jobs.
