ALBANY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Governor Cuomo said he plans to provide an update regarding state approved casinos, like del Lago and Vernon Downs, later this week.
At his daily conference call Sunday, NewsChannel 9 anchor Jeff Kulikowsky asked Governor Cuomo if he had an update regarding state approved casinos, which have been closed since March 16.
Governor Cuomo responded to the question saying he plans to have an update regarding state approved casinos later this week. Cuomo also said he thinks the news regarding casinos will be positive.
With gyms being allowed to open last week, state approved casinos are some of the last businesses still left completely in the dark.
Casinos operated by Native American nations do not have to obey state laws, and most of those casinos, like Turning Stone, have been reopen for months with COVID-19 regulations in place.
Employees at del Lago and other state approved casinos and racinos were rallying outside del Lago earlier this week, calling upon the governor to allow them to go back to work.
The protestors at del Lago said if they don’t hear from the state within a week, they will rally again.
