Three new, three familiar faces in latest round of Aqueduct racino bidding

SL Green, Penn National Gaming and Delaware North/Saratoga Gaming and Raceway are all back in the running to become the new Aqueduct Racino developer and operator in the state’s fifth round of requests for proposals for the long-delayed project, Crain’s reported. New to the bidding this time around are Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway, Genting New York, an arm of a Malaysian investment firm that operates foreign casinos and Toronto-based Clairvest Group, which was a partner in Aqueduct Entertainment Group’s winning — but then aborted — bid in the last selection round. In a controversial move last year, the state awarded a contract to AEG, only to withdraw its support after the group was denied a gaming license and an investigation was launched into the selection process.
