Casino operation is able to bring benefits to the host community with its regular allocations. It is also able to sustain itself with a certain percentage, something Vernon Downs Casino would soon experience to a new level. Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon saw her legislation receive the ultimate approval of Governor Andrew Cuomo that essentially turned it into law.
Every casino venue relies heavily on its gaming revenue for the improvement of its offerings, better player experience, as well as expansion and reconstruction of its facility. This guarantees that the location is going to remain among the preferred venues for gaming action down the road. This is especially true when it comes to a more complex operation including both gaming and hospitality offerings. Vernon Downs Casino Hotel could confirm this.
Complex Bags Bigger Slice of Gaming Revenue
The New York well-rounded Vernon Downs location is able to attract quite the crowd on a regular basis both with its casino offerings and with the live races it features within its horse racing schedule. Now the location would have the chance to utilize better and more of its gaming revenue generated on a daily basis thanks to a new law.
Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon proposed special legislation that seeks better utilization of the revenue currently amassed by the location. She wanted to see Vernon Downs bag up to 4 percent of the gaming revenue generated. At the moment this slice fuels various capital awards. It should be noted that the New York State Gaming Commission also bags some 10 percent of the gaming revenue.
The sponsored legislation sought more cash for the casino venue and according to its language, Vernon Downs would now keep 75 percent of this state allocation to itself. In the long run, this is projected to boost the facility performance and bring many improvements to it. Investment in gaming facilities pays out, as more players are willing to make their way there and try their luck. Gov. Cuomo realized that and greenlighted the proposed legislation.
Sports Betting Comes to State
Now the law would have to be implemented and upcoming months are projected to be different for the location. Vernon Downs Casino Hotel is able to offer a steady income to as many as 300 individuals from Oneida County. The complex is located in the vicinity of Turning Stone Resort Casino overseen by Oneida Indian Nation. Competitiveness in this field is crucial.
The tribal casino venue would soon launch legal sports wagering operation, as it is one of the seven tribal casino venues that received green light by the New York State. The first days of August are projected to bring the official start of this groundbreaking offering on a state level. Four commercial and seven tribal casino locations would benefit from it. In this sense, Vernon Downs is also ready to step up its game.
Last summer saw the official launch of the renovated casino floor following seven weeks of renovation and construction work. The first casino patrons to make their way in witnessed the brand new slot machines, as well as a special zone dedicated to promotions only. Moreover, the venue became more accessible for handicapped individuals, making it a more diverse space.
