New York City will be getting three new casinos, a state panel decided Monday.<\/p>\n

The Gaming Facility Location Board<\/a> green lit all of the maximum three downstate licenses available during a morning session<\/a> at the CUNY Graduate Center in Midtown. Only three contenders, two in Queens and one in the Bronx, were still in the running after a long process that sparked community pushback in a number of NYC neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

The trio of winners are Resorts World, the existing racino in Jamaica; Hard Rock Metropolitan Park, the pet project of Mets owner Steve Cohen slated to go up in Citi Field\u2019s Willets Point backyard; and Bally\u2019s Bronx at the golf course in Ferry Point Park.<\/p>\n

The three will be New York City\u2019s first full-fledged casinos, featuring a full range of table games. The existing area racinos, Resorts World in Queens and Empire City in Yonkers, have been more limited in what they can offer.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s vote marks the end of a yearslong saga<\/a> during which some of the biggest names in gaming, hospitality and real estate went all in trying to secure a lucrative license.<\/p>\n
