AEG's Aqueduct deal officially dead

[Buckpasser]

State officials today scratched AEG’s plan to operate 4,500 slots at Aqueduct race track following accusations of a corrupt bidding process.

"The Division of the Lottery has concluded that it cannot issue a gaming license to Aqueduct Entertainment Group (AEG). Therefore, the State has officially withdrawn its support for AEG to develop and operate a video lottery terminal (VLT) facility at Aqueduct Race Track," Gov. Paterson’s office said in a statement.
