In the state, the lottery sales alone make $9 billion every year. So, legal New York casinos and gambling operations are set to expand.<\/p>\n<p>When New York voters approved a large gambling expansion in November of 2013, the state began the process of setting up licenses. These would only be processed in 2015. Currently, seven more casinos are getting ready to open.<\/p>\n<p>In a state with 14 casinos, six poker rooms, and 5 tribal casinos, this might get overcrowded. However, we\u2019re not here to judge, just give residents all of the relevant information such as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Existing gambling laws.<\/li>\n<li>New or amended laws.<\/li>\n<li>Where to find the best casinos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a name=\"new-york-online-casinos\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New-York-Casinos-Gambling-Stats\"><\/span>New York Casinos &amp; Gambling Stats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regulated gambling by year:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Racing (1959)<\/li>\n<li>Lottery (1966)<\/li>\n<li>Off-track betting (1970)<\/li>\n<li>Tribal casinos (1993)<\/li>\n<li>Racinos (2001)<\/li>\n<li>Commercial casinos (2013)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estimated tax revenue from gambling<\/strong> &#8211; $4.2 billion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estimated gambling revenue<\/strong> &#8211; $10.8 billion<\/li>\n<li><strong>New York Gambling Age &#8211; <\/strong>18 for lottery and racing, 18-21 for casinos.

Other than that, the law states that other games of chance are illegal.<\/p>\n<p>Gambling crimes are considered a misdemeanor in the state. While promoting gambling is a Class E felony that will be charged by the Attorney General.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of Legal New York Online Gambling<\/h3>\n<p>For the moment, only off-track betting is approved by voters. So, sportsbooks like TVG, BetAmerica, TwinSpires, and XpressBet are allowed to take these bets.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are restrictions on track betting within New York to encourage attendance at the racetracks.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in 2015, daily fantasy sports were declared illegal by the Attorney General. Both FanDuel and DraftKings were ordered out of the state, but the courts permitted them to stay. So, for now, they\u2019re legally allowed to operate.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there are no licensed online casinos, poker rooms, or sports betting sites. It\u2019s a widely held belief in NY that they are illegal.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of Live New York Gambling<\/h3>\n<p>The New York Lottery is the most profitable live betting option in the United States and makes roughly $9 billion a year on scratchers and lottery ticket sales.<\/p>\n<p>Statewide lottery games include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take 5<\/li>\n<li>Win 4<\/li>\n<li>Pick 10<\/li>\n<li>Mega Millions<\/li>\n<li>Powerball<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Closely following lottery sales, the four licensed racetracks offer live racing. They also offer off-track betting, slots, video poker, and table game machines.<\/p>\n<p>Five other shuttered tracks also provide New York Racinos.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the five tribal casinos offer more games than racetracks like blackjack, roulette, poker, and craps tables. As well as slots, video poker, digital table game machines.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, charity gambling is also allowed and can offer raffles, bingo, and pull-tab games.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6306 size-full\" title=\"New York Casinos Map\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-york-casinos-map.png\" alt=\"New York Casinos Map\" width=\"500\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-york-casinos-map.png 500w, https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-york-casinos-map-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\n<a name=\"new-york-casino-list\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List-of-New-York-Casinos\"><\/span>List of New York Casinos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s our<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_casinos_in_New_York\"> list of the casinos<\/a>, Racinos, and other gambling venues currently operating in New York:<\/p>\n<table width=\"88%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"39%\"><strong>Casino<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\"><strong>City<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"16%\"><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"27%\"><strong>Comments<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"39%\">Jake&#8217;s 58 Hotel &amp;

At the time, the race track opened in Hampstead Plains, now known as Queens. However, racing soon became illegal.<\/p>\n<p>Until 1905, when Belmont Park opened its doors. Still, it didn\u2019t become fully legal until 1959, and horse racing became the first form of legalized gambling.<\/p>\n<p>By 1966, voters decided to allow a state lottery with a 60% margin. In 1967, the first lottery tickets went on sale, and the lottery has raised $35 billion in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of off-track betting, the state government opened 100 betting shops across New York. However, they cannibalized track revenues and were closed down. The last shop closed in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>On April 15<sup>th,<\/sup> 2011, the state also carried out the first online gambling bust in the world. So, the US Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District filed indictments against three prolific operators.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, they managed to shut down Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker. Then ran PokerStars out of the United States, ultimately resulting in $547 million in fines for the US government.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6308 size-full\" title=\"New York Casinos &amp; Gambling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-york-casinos-gambling.png\" alt=\"New York Casinos &amp; Gambling\" width=\"500\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-york-casinos-gambling.png 500w, https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-york-casinos-gambling-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\n<p><a name=\"more-states\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More-State-Casinos\"><\/span>More State Casinos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alabama Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Alaska Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/arizona\/\">Arizona Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Arkansas Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/california\/\">California Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/canada\/\">Canadian Casino Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/colorado\/\">Colorado Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Connecticut Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Delaware Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/florida\/\">Florida Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Georgia Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Hawaii Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Idaho Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Illinois Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Indiana Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Iowa Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Kansas Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/las-vegas\/\">Las Vegas Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Louisiana Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Maine Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Maryland Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Massachusetts Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Michigan Casinos<br \/>\nMinnesota Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/mississippi\/\">Mississippi Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Missouri Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Montana Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/nevada\/\">Nevada Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/new-jersey\/\">New Jersey Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/north-carolina\/\">North Carolina Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>North Dakota Casinos<\/p>\n<p>New Mexico Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Ohio Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Oregon Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Rhode Island Casinos<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina Casinos<\/p>\n<p>South Dakota Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee Casinos<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivernilecasino.com\/local-casinos\/texas\/\">Texas Casinos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Utah Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Vermont Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Washington Casinos<\/p>\n<p>West Virginia Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin Casinos<\/p>\n<p>Wyoming Casinos<br \/>\n<a name=\"new-york-faqs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New-York-Casinos-Gambling-FAQs\"><\/span>New York Casinos &amp; Gambling FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What types of gambling are legal in New York?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Voters have legalized off-track betting, commercial casinos, Racinos, a state lottery, and tribal casinos.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What is the minimum gambling age in New York?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Most forms of gambling have a minimum gambling age of 18.
