New York City braces for new casinos as gambling surge in US worries experts

Three proposed casinos approved as researchers say they take money from businesses and increase addiction

New York City will probably soon see three new casinos, whose owners could rake in profits because of a recent surge in gambling in the United States that has some campaigners worried.

The New York gaming facility location board this week approved three proposed casinos in the US's largest city - two in Queens and one in the Bronx - after determining the businesses would create new jobs and generate billions in tax revenue, according to the group's report.
