Manhattan casino plan nixed after board closes door — but gambling facility may still come to NYC

Meanwhile, a Coney Island casino bid — from a partnership that includes Thor Equities, Chickasaw Nation’s Global Gaming Solutions, Saratoga Casino Holdings and Legends Hospitality Group — is likely next to get voted down.
Three Brooklyn elected officials — Borough President Antonio Reynoso, state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, and Councilman Justin Brannan — issued statements Monday opposing the project.
A fourth, Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny, is also opposed to the project. All four elected officials have representatives on the advisory board who are expected to oppose “The Coney.”
