The battle to get one of three downstate New York casino licenses is reaching its final stages, with interested parties starting to submit their official bids ahead of the June 27 deadline. While projects involving big names like Steve Cohen and Jay-Z have dominated much of the headlines, one original pitch has flown slightly under the radar.<\/p>\n

If the project secures a license, every day New Yorkers can access up to 12% of the project\u2019s equity.

Competition remains fierce for the three permits, with Saks Fifth Avenue and Las Vegas Sands withdrawing their interest in recent weeks<\/a>. The expectation is that the Gaming Facility Location Board will decide on the successful applicants in December.<\/p>\n
