That's been said mostly by people who haven't looked closely at what's actually going on. A casino in Yonkers, in no way would eclipse the economic benefits of a casino anywhere in the city. But beyond that, the racinos will be measured by what they will produce
in addition to what is already there. So they are basically starting out behind all the others in that regard. The state keeps stressing that this is mostly an economic development project, all aspects of it. It's meant to spur development and business not only on site, but to lift up the surrounding businesses as well. The overall economic impact is what will put the winners over the top.
