New York will request casino proposals in January and name the successful applicants next year following several months of consultation.
The US state intends to issue four licences of the seven recently approved by the people of New York after they voted to amend the state constitution.

A number of operators have expressed an interest in the new venues, including Empire Resorts, slot operators Tioga Downs and Saratoga Raceway, Caesars, Nevele Investors, Louis Capelli with Mohegan Sun and Muss Development with Foxwoods.
