Why would a new casino be part of the city budget? These people are billionaires, and they want our taxes to pay for their new casino? Ridiculous

Never drop your guard if you live near LeApe James.

won't work---i.e, atlantic city.

They better have serious security. Inside and outside.

[bklynbob]

Not over iconic Saks. It would ruin its upscale cache.

A Casio In Manhattan? Will it have parking? Tables? Or just those slot machines?

[mrmrso]

Please don't. We already have a ghetto casino in Queens.

[markmilitant]

NYC worried about opening casinos for financial gain wtf give these essential unvaxs workers their job back

[miscellanyman]

NYC don't need no damn new casino -- Empire in Yonkers and Resorts World in Far Rockaway Queens is enuff. What we NEED is for the legislators to bring into effect ONLINE GAMBLING a la Sportsbook. Would you rather play slots at home with your Martini-in-hand or drive up to Yonkers or out to Far Rockway for a "night of unadulterated fun" then drive all the way home?

I can't imagine how the stick up kids and pick pocket thieves are salivating praying it goes thru!!! It may bring in lots of money and at the same time it will ruin lots of lives if a casino opens up in manhattan.

Most likely be in 42 street they'll have 25cent sults

[ntil]

That shit is definitely getting robbed lmao good luck. No really good luck

[samflanagan]

A Manhattan casino has intrigue. Any chance they’ll have roller skating?

[vandalnyc]

Nobody wants a casino in Manhattan, there’s no parking or space. Nobody wants to take a train after winning some bets. Keep it in Yonkers and Queens.

[sylviajackman]

MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVES IN MANHATTAN IS HOMELESS PEOPLE AND, THE CITY IS NOT SAFE ANYMORE, CASINO IN THE CITY NO WAY, HALF OF THE BUSINESS PLACES IN MANHATTAN IS CLOSE DOWN, I LOVE THE CASINO, BUT IN THE CITY THAT WILL ENCOURAGE MORE PROBLEMS.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 put them in, gambling addiction will cause more homeless, crime will go up. I'll read the news, sorry I lost my bill money, evicted, Rob that guy that won . Casinos are built on losers. That will be funny.

[jojogirl]

Very very very bad idea. We have enough violence and a casino will make it worse .
