North Jersey casinos may do 井戸/弁護士席, but NYC 競争 ぼんやり現れるs
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) ― If New Jersey follows through on its 計画(する)s to 許す two new casinos in the New York City 郊外s, 分析家s and 賭事ing 産業 公式の/役人s agree they could be の中で the most successful in the country.
But some also 警告を与える that the casinos, ーするつもりであるd to 再度捕まえる gamblers who have been abandoning 大西洋 City for 隣接地の 明言する/公表するs, could 直面する their own difficulties if ― as 広範囲にわたって 推定する/予想するd ― New York 許すs a casino across the Hudson River in Manhattan. The New Jersey casinos in turn could wreak havoc on older casinos in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, all of which are now 製図/抽選 gamblers away from New Jersey.
New Jersey is moving 今後 with 計画(する)s to ask 投票者s in November to 認可する two new casinos in northern New Jersey, more than 70 miles from 大西洋 City. Although 場所s have not been 明示するd, the two 提案s most often について言及するd are at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, where the NFL's New York Jets and 巨大(な)s play, and one in Jersey City, the 明言する/公表する's second-largest city, 直接/まっすぐに across the river from Manhattan.

Jeff Gural, who runs the Meadowlands and is partnered with Hard 激しく揺する International Inc. on the casino 提案, said 14.6 million people live within 50 miles of his 跡をつける.
"I think we'd do 広大な/多数の/重要な," he said. "We have the best 場所 for a casino in all of America."
The other casino 提案 comes from footwear 有力者/大事業家 Paul 消防士, who has 拒絶する/低下するd to discuss his $4 billion to $5 billion Jersey City 提案.
Gural 見積(る)s a Meadowlands casino would take in $800 million to $900 million a year from gamblers, 最高位の it の中で the most successful in the nation. Some 分析家s think a Meadowlands casino could 越える $1 billion in 年次の 歳入, at least before it has a nearby competitor in northern New Jersey.
The 控訴,上告 of new casinos is 否定できない to New Jersey 公式の/役人s, who watch with 狼狽 as 大西洋 City's casino 産業 崩壊するs, whittled away by ever-増加するing 競争 in nearby 明言する/公表するs. In 2006, when the first casino opened in Pennsylvania, 大西洋 City's casino 歳入 was $5.2 billion. Last year it had fallen to $2.56 billion, and four of the city's 12 casinos shut 負かす/撃墜する in 2014.
Peter Trombetta, an 分析家 with Moody's 投資家s Service, thinks the north Jersey casinos would do 井戸/弁護士席 ― but at someon e else's expense. In 新規加入 to 害(を与える)ing 大西洋 City, the new casinos could draw 顧客s away from casinos in eastern Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut.
"Given where that's 位置を示すd, ーに関して/ーの点でs of 接近 to a 相当な 全住民 base, we think they 現実に could do pretty 井戸/弁護士席," said Trombetta. "Any time you 削減(する) off 接近 to competing casinos and 申し込む/申し出 a good 製品, people will go there instead of where they used to go. If I were 大西洋 City, if I were Connecticut, I'd be nervous. All of the surrounding markets would be 影響する/感情d.
"But we look at gaming as a 無-sum game," he 追加するd. "If they built that, I don't think it would grow the market."
New Jersey Assemblyman Chris Brown, an 大西洋 City-area 共和国の/共和党の, makes the same point in …に反対するing casinos どこかよそで in the 明言する/公表する.
"The market is 簡単に oversaturated," Brown said. "All we're doing by 開始 a new casino is shuffling the deck and moving people who are already 賭事ing to a new 位置/汚点/見つけ出す."
A major wild card is the 可能性 of a Manhattan casino, which could be 認可するd as soon as December 2022, によれば the New York 明言する/公表する Gaming (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限. 許すing two years for construction, a Manhattan casino could open just as the north Jersey casinos would be hitting their stride. New York City already has one of the 最高の,を越す-収入 casinos in the nation at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, which 申し込む/申し出s only slot machines but still won $816 million from April 2014 to March 2015.
"You're going to assume the 競争 is going to go after your market if it's の近くに by," said Moody's 分析家 Keith Foley. "If New York 明言する/公表する sees north Jersey casinos are doing very 井戸/弁護士席 and taking 訪問者s from Manhattan, if they put a casino in downtown New York City, that'll 削減(する) that traffic off coming into nor th Jersey."
Steve Norton, a former 大西洋 City casino (n)役員/(a)執行力のある who now runs a 協議するing company, 見積(る)s the two north Jersey casinos would do a 連合させるd $1.5 billion 毎年.
If Manhattan opens a casino, "they'll lose 株, but still be profitable," he said.
Gural doesn't believe New York will ever 位置を示す a casino in Manhattan and is unconcerned with the 警告を与えるs 発言する/表明するd by 塀で囲む Street 分析家s.
"They are the same people that said it was a 広大な/多数の/重要な idea to build Revel," he said, referring to 大西洋 City's $2.4 billion casino that opened in 2012 and の近くにd in 2014. "Why would you ask them about anything? Where were they five years or even seven or eight years ago raising 警告 調印するs about 大西洋 City when anyone with even half a brain could have told you what was going to happen?"
