Cuomo has signed into law a bill that greatly expands casino gambling in New York, including creating new video slot machine parlors in Nassau and Suffolk counties. According to Newsday, the plan authorizes four upstate casinos, which must also win approval in a statewide referendum this fall. The Newsday report states that no matter the fate of the casino vote, the law allows Nassau and Suffolk counties to open one video-slot facility apiece, with each having a maximum of 1,000 machines, which are known as video lottery terminals. |
