Empire Resorts Sees Opportunity in Supreme Court Decision on Sports Betting
15 5월 2018 - 11:16PM
Business Wire
Empire Resorts, Inc. (NasdaqGM: NYNY) (together with its
subsidiaries, the “Company”) lauds the U.S. Supreme Court’s
decision to strike down PASPA and thereby open the door to expanded
legalization of sports betting.
“We are prepared to implement sports betting as part of the
gaming experience at our resort casino, Resorts World Catskills,
upon the formulation of relevant regulations in New York State,”
said Ryan Eller, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. “We believe the ruling has the potential to transform how
Americans bet on sports and we are one of the few New York State
venues that can be authorized to host a sports pool under New
York’s Gaming Act. It is our hope that New York State will be ready
for New Yorkers to place legal sports bets in time for the fall
football season, baseball’s World Series, or even sooner.”
The New York State Gaming Commission will need to formulate
regulations to govern sports pools before the Company can apply for
a license to offer sports betting at Resorts World Catskills.
The Company held the Grand Opening of Resorts World Catskills
this past weekend from May 11 through May 13. Headlining the
festivities was a performance by legendary comedian and producer
Jerry Seinfeld. The celebration will continue throughout the month
of May with a performance by award-winning singer and songwriter
Gavin DeGraw, who is a native of Sullivan County, New York, on
Friday, May 18. The grand opening of Cellaio, an Italian steakhouse
created by celebrity chef Scott Conant, will follow on May 19.
