On December 15, the New York State Gaming Commission awarded casino licenses to all three operators left in the running.
The licenses will allow Resorts World NYC, where workers are already represented by HTC, to begin offering live table games and will allow for the construction of brand new casinos by Metropolitan Park near Citi Field and next to Bally's Golf Links in the Bronx. All told, the three New York City casinos should create thousands of jobs.
