New York is in the midst of the gambling boom. Since the Federal Supreme Court demolished the Professional Amusports Protection Law in 2018, the state has emerged as the epicenter of sports betting activities, exceeding Nevada, and flashing in the neighboring New Jersey. Meanwhile, the state has more than three full casinos, and nearly 12 applicants have entered the battle for advantageous licenses in the downstate area. Licensing is awarded at the end of 2025, but some existing facilities, including commercial casinos, tribal casinos, lace casinos, and street gambling areas, are already open. In addition, many professional sports leagues and teams (many of which are based in New York) adopt betting and have a partnership with major mobile sports betting platforms.

To understand all the players who are active in the billions of dollars, City & State created the first casino & sportsbetting industry name book, written and investigated in collaboration with journalist Ron Cohen.
