New York lawmakers are now carefully studying the proposal to allow sports betting in casinos, OTBs and race track after the electorate gave a thumbs up to the two amendments to the state constitution.

Quoting Democratic Westchester Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, The Albany Times-Union reported that New York legislators are looking for ways to regulate sports betting without going through the path of amendment lane.

The movement in New York also comes at a time when the U.S. Supreme Court took cognizance of New Jersey’s case questioning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), which bans legalized sports wagering in all but a few grandfathered states.

New York are following closely the developments in New Jersey’s case since a win for the Garden State would benefit the state’s three new non-Indian casinos: Rivers in Schenectady, del Lago in Tyre, and Tioga Downs in Nichols.
