Addabbo narrows push for gaming expansion to only online poker, recognizing it as a skill game rather than a game of chance. Does this have a chance? I would be sooooo happy.

Feels like this would have needed to get into the state budget, right?

Anything and everything gets stuffed into the budget but that's not the only way. Just, I guess, a convenience because it has to get passed and there's a deadline for it (though the deadline means little). The session continues until the end of June or so.

You guys think that maybe after initial openings they're may be more casinos opening in like 10 years in NYC?

Not impossible, but I wouldn't bet on it. The limit on licenses is constitutional, not statutory, so allowing more would require re-amending (which means passage in two consecutive legislative years and then a statewide vote).

This just sheds light on a broken and outdated political system using lobbyists or special interest to line the pockets of politicians.

The only thing that makes sense is that politicians are slowing down this process on purpose.
