President Donald Trump and billionaire Steve Cohen stand to profit as the New York State Gaming Commission voted Monday to finalize approvals licensing a trio of the state’s first fully commercial casinos.
The New York State Gaming Commission voted to give final approvals to license three casinos: Hard Rock International’s Metropolitan Park, Bally Corp’s Bronx and Genting Group’s Resorts World New York City.
Cohen, the owner of the New York Mets, partnered with Hard Rock International to propose the $8 billion Metropolitan Park casino to be fully constructed by 2030 in Flushing, Queens.
