And if New York is going to legalize mobile sports betting, MGM Resorts must be able to compete for a license. A full-scale casino license will enhance the existing facility and is a clear path to providing significantly more revenue for the state, offering union jobs, and supporting the entire region. “A full-scale casino license for Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts in Yonkers is a no brainer,” said John Ravitz, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Business Council of Westchester. “The brick and mortar is already in place. The alliance is also focused on ensuring that the region is not left behind as the state considers implementing mobile sports betting. They include: the Business Council of Westchester, the Bronx Chamber of Commerce and the Westchester-Putnam Central Labor Body.Ī full-scale casino license, complete with retail and mobile sports betting and live table games, will create thousands of new, family-sustaining union jobs, while generating millions in additional annual wages and tax revenue that would directly benefit local communities. Nearly 30 businesses, community organizations, and labor groups in Westchester and the Bronx have formed the new alliance. “A Sure Bet for New York’s Future” announced the creation of the new local alliance in support of a full gaming license and access to mobile sports betting for Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts and touted its benefits for Yonkers, the Bronx, and the greater Westchester region.
