Gov. Andrew Cuomo says his administration is actively investigating whether to bring commercial, non-Indian casinos and related gambling to New York.
Cuomo says his administration is �actively� involved in the review that could lead to more than the current Indian-run casinos in New York.
That action, however, would likely require legislation and possibly a constitutional amendment, which could take years.
Cuomo, however, says a constitutional amendment may not be necessary.
The Democrat says Tuesday it�s time for the state to �come to grips� with commercial casinos and gaming because there�s already extensive and lucrative gambling in the state and in neighboring states.
New York allows strictly limited commercial, electronic gambling at �racinos,� but Cuomo would open the door to traditional casinos.

At least it is more honest that “renting” a reservation to out of state Indians to avoid the New York law against casinos.
As public finance, this might not be a good idea.
From a moral perspective, oh, why bother?
Casinos mean jobs
Casinos mean immorality and suicides.
