The New York City casino race will likely include both the Mets and Yankees ownerships. (Image: MLB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, whose fortune is estimated at $17.5 billion, has reportedly struck a partnership with Hard Rock International to develop an integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mets-owner-cohen-continues-new-york-casino-efforts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">casino resort plan near his Citi Field<\/a> MLB ballpark in Queens.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\">But this week, Thor Equities, a New York-based real estate firm, announced its $3 billion casino draft targeting Coney Island will involve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/thor-equities-brings-on-three-partners-for-3b-coney-island-casino-project\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">three development partners<\/a>, with one being Legends Hospitality. Legends is partially owned by the Steinbrenner family, which has famously controlled the New York Yankees since 1973.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-york-city-casino-pitched-near-un-9-west-billionaire-behind-bid\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">other bids will be expected<\/a> in the downstate casino race, Cohen and the Steinbrenners could be headed towards a new \u201cSubway Series\u201d showdown. But instead of competing for an MLB game victory, a multibillion-dollar casino opportunity could be on the line.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thor_Improves_Bid_Odds\"><\/span><b>Thor Improves Bid Odds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cohen has been considered the downstate casino front-runner since the hedge fund manager tipped his hand earlier this year about his enthusiasm for a casino. The billionaire fielded interest from both Las Vegas Sands and Hard Rock to develop the property, with Hard Rock winning out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Cohen owns Citi Field and has adequate property surrounding the stadium to build the resort. The facility is conveniently located to LaGuardia International Airport and just off the Grand Central Parkway. Citi Field is additionally served by numerous public transportation rail and bus lines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thor first expressed interest in building a casino in New York\u2019s downstate region more recently. In October, the company said it would target a gaming development on Coney Island, the town famous for its 150-foot-tall Wonder Wheel, Cyclone wooden roller coaster, and for being the birthplace of Nathan\u2019s Famous Hot Dogs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thor\u2019s possible casino pitch didn\u2019t generate the same media stir as Cohen did when his casino interest first broke. But with Thor bringing on Legends this week, the scheme\u2019s odds have seemingly improved.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Legends people are involved in the entertainment portion of the proposal. I think Coney Island is the best location \u2026 for a casino,\u201d<\/strong> opined James Featherstonhaugh, a longtime Albany lobbyist and a principal in Saratoga Casino Holdings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Featherstonhaugh certainly has reason for his optimism. Saratoga Casino Holdings, which owns and operates the Saratoga Casino Hotel in upstate New York, plus casinos in Colorado and Mississippi, was also brought on by Thor for its Coney Island consortium. The Chickasaw Nation, one of the nation\u2019s largest gaming tribes based in Oklahoma, was also contracted for the group.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RW_Empire_City_Front-Runners\"><\/span><b>RW, Empire City Front-Runners<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">New York\u2019s 2013 commercial gaming law allows the state to authorize as many as three full-scale casinos in New York\u2019s City five boroughs, the Lower Hudson Valley, and Long Island. But two of the opportunities are likely spoken for, as Resorts World New York City in Queens near JFK International and Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway are strong favorites for two of the licenses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">RW and Empire City are presently racinos that are only allowed to offer slot-like video lottery terminals (VLTs) and electronic table games.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-york-city-casino-bidding-war-latest-subway-series\/\" target=\"_blank\">New York City Casino Bidding War Latest \u2018Subway Series\u2019 Between Yankees and Mets<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\" target=\"_blank\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next year, New York City will become a qualifying host region for commercial casinos.
