Despite a crowded field with globally recognized names, the development team behind The Coney remains confident about their odds of securing one of the three casino licenses allocated for New York’s downstate region.

Paul Pippin, chief operating officer of Global Gaming Solutions, and Saratoga CEO Sam Gerrity recently spoke with Casino.org to discuss the latest on their multibillion-dollar integrated casino resort bid for New York City.

The executives believe their bid — which seeks to place a towering resort on the Coney Island Boardwalk at Surf and Stillwell avenues near the iconic Cyclone roller coaster and Wonder Wheel Ferris wheel — best satisfies the application conditions set forth by the New York Gaming Facility Location Board. The Board is tasked with fielding applications for the coveted licenses, which will cost a one-time $500 million upfront fee.
