💨 Abstract
Eight casino projects are vying for licenses in New York City, promising jobs, amenities, and revenue. However, some proposals face local opposition. The Bronx's Bally’s casino project was denied key approval due to environmental concerns. The Times Square casino faces pushback from Broadway theater groups, while the Coney Island proposal is opposed by event organizers. The state may award licenses in December, considering community input and potential revenue. The market's sustainability and competition from nearby casinos are debated.
