Default Bill introduced to allow FULL Casino gambling at all NY tracks
http://www.saratogian.com/articles/2...2904767565.txt

Would go to vote in November but would include all Harness tracks and Aqueduct if they can ever get it opened.

When a state is 9 BILLION dollars in debt and gov't is threatening to shut down, anything can happen

Well the bill has been introduced and it looks like it will go to a vote by the people in November. And by the looks of Casino parking lots it will pass.

Agree. In PA, slot casinos have been open for about 2 years. Table games were considered to be way off in the future until the budget crisis hit. Table games were quickly approved and will go live in July.
