Casino Rivers in Schenectady will be a place where new dealers will get the opportunity to practice in their profession. The establishment reopened last September and immediately after that announced significant losses because of coronavirus pandemic and prolonged closure in 2020.

Meanwhile, gubernator Andrew Cuomo made a proposal in the end of January that should benefit casinos and to compensate for losses. There are 5 articles in the budget proposal of Cuomo, every should give the benefit to the game industry.

According to the proposal of Cuomo, casino Rivers will be allowed to suspend payments, to be produced by riders who own and train standardbred horses that run in a Saratoga casino for the duration of the covid crisis. This is a guaranteed benefit for Rivers not affecting state tax revenues.

The other three proposals are aimed at bringing more money to the state allowing new casinos opening that will pay the tax for their activities and thus will help to improve the financial situation of the state.

The additional advantage of Cuomo’s proposal is that it will maximize the benefit of state from the potential legalization of sport bettings.
