Cuomo’s plan for new casinos to boost Upstate isn’t working either: Wednesday, officials from three new betting joints gave grim reports about their businesses....
Cuomo destroyed the fracking industry in NY State just to please the environmentalist nationwide in his run to be president . ... He threw us a bone with the casinos .... The average NYer knew that oversaturation in that market would happen . Anyone following the horse racing industry in NY knows that in 10 years it will be just a memory ..... Just so much gambling money to go around ...And Cuomo picks no winners and all losers.

Easter dilemma: Casinos open, race tracks and OTBs closed
It's one of the oddities of state gaming law
Gamblers who need more stimulation than an egg hunt on Easter Sunday can celebrate at the Rivers Casino in Schenectady, or either of the two other newly opened upstate gaming halls. All of them are offering special Easter buffets.
Or they can visit the state's long-standing video lottery terminal "racinos," including the Saratoga Casino in Saratoga Springs and the massive Resorts World racino connected to the Aqueduct race track in Queens.
But if you want to see a live thoroughbred race at Aqueduct or elsewhere in the state, you'll be out of luck: Parimutuel betting on horse races is not allowed on Easter Sunday in New York.
Also closed are the state's off-track betting parlors, including Capital OTB in Albany, and the phone betting services known as Advanced Deposit Wagering.
Meanwhile, tracks such as Santa Anita in California, Gulfstream in Florida, Laurel Park in Maryland and Woodbine in Ontario expect to be racing on Sunday.
The seeming contradiction in New York's holiday gambling offerings is an oddity of the state's complex gaming regulations.
"I can buy a lottery ticket and play VLT slots" on Sunday, said Jackson Leeds, a lawyer and part-time cashier for the Nassau County OTB.

The only way a casino could boost the economy of an area was if it were geographically located to bring in tourists and visitors from other areas to gamble. If residents around a casino are the bulk of the patrons, you're just shuffling dollars from one pocket to another.
