"The New York State Gaming Facility Location Board unanimously voted in favor of all three remaining casino bids, representing a major victory for the Bally's casino proposal in the Bronx and the Metropolitan Park and Resorts World developments in Queens. The vote represents the second-to-last step in a years-long process to award three downstate gaming licenses to projects in the New York metropolitan area, with the Gaming Commission set to deliver a verdict by the end of the month."
"Delivering the verdict at the CUNY Graduate Center Monday morning, board chair Vicki Been said the board had determined that advancing all three projects best advances the state's long-term economic, fiscal and community objectives. The three proposals were the last remaining bids in the race to obtain a downstate license, with Community Advisory Committees voting down three proposals in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. However, some doubts had remained whether the Gaming Facility Location Board would award all three licenses ahead of Monday's vote."

Community Advisory Committees previously rejected three Manhattan proposals and one in Brooklyn. MGM Empire City in Yonkers withdrew its applications.
