In an exciting collaboration, Saratoga Casino Holdings and The Chickasaw Nation have teamed up with Thor Equities to establish a magnificent brick-and-mortar casino in the vibrant city of New York, specifically in the bustling Coney Island district. To further enhance this ambitious venture, the group is proud to welcome onboard Legends, an esteemed company specializing in leisure and entertainment, as their trusted partner. Together, these innovative and dynamic entities aspire to create a remarkable gambling destination that will captivate and enchant visitors from near and far.
The bid for a casino in New York has increased.
We are delighted to collaborate with Thor Equities, Legends, and Global Gaming Solutions, two distinguished entities, in order to establish an inviting gaming and entertainment establishment in Coney Island.
The project I'm about to share with you is quite an interesting one, as not much information has been revealed yet. However, it seems to involve the development of an expansive hotel, equipped with a plethora of recreational amenities, alongside a dedicated casino area. With a substantial budget of $3 billion, the project's ultimate objective is to generate approximately 2,500 job opportunities, providing valuable employment to many individuals.
As the governor of the state, Kathy Hochul, plans to issue three casino licenses for the development of the region, a group of investors has gathered with the intention of seizing this imminent opportunity. These licenses can be granted to establishments situated in various locations within the southern region, encompassing the lower Hudson Valley and Long Island. The investors are eagerly anticipating the issuance of these licenses, eagerly awaiting the chance to capitalize on this lucrative prospect.
Saratoga Casino Holdings CEO, Sam Gerrity, expressed his excitement in a press statement, as he announced the partnership with two exceptional organizations.
Partnering with Thor Equities, Legends, and Global Gaming Solutions, two renowned organizations, we are thrilled to announce our joint venture to create a vibrant hub for gaming and entertainment in Coney Island.

Bill Lance, Chairman of the Global Gaming Board, expressed his satisfaction with the fruitful collaboration we are currently experiencing with Legends, a prominent player in the WinStar World Casino and Resort industry. He emphasized our keen interest in expanding this partnership to include other strategic allies such as Thor and Saratoga.
Eager to commence our collaboration with Legends, a distinguished New York-based company, we anticipate a prosperous partnership rooted in our unique qualities and unwavering dedication to cultivating a top-notch recreational haven that honors the heritage of the locality while infusing fresh vitality into this iconic site within the city of New York. Our aspirations fuel our enthusiasm as we embark on this journey to actualize our objectives.
A continuously expanding roster of potential partners
In my opinion, Thor Equities has entered the race to obtain a casino license, joining a group of interested individuals. Interestingly, Steve Cohen, the esteemed owner of the New York Mets, is engaging in discussions with Hard Rock regarding a potential offer in the neighborhood of Queens. On another note, Wynn Resorts has put forth a proposal for a casino located in Hudson Yards, which lies to the west of Manhattan. Additionally, Caesars Entertainment has expressed its interest in establishing a casino in the bustling area of Times Square.
By January 6, 2024, the Application for Candidacy (RFA) will be released by the NY State Gaming Commission. After the submission of applications, the new NY Gaming Facility Location Board will proceed to review them.
