From Crains:The New York Racing Association is considering shutting down the financially troubled Aqueduct Race Track in southeast Queens, an action that would take down the money-making casino next door unless state law were changed.
Establishments with video lottery terminals, including Resorts World Casino at Aqueduct, cannot exist under the law without being tethered to a race track, according to John Sabini, the former chairman of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. Aqueduct is the lone state-owned racetrack in New York, so crafting a bill to make the casino there an exception would not be complicated.
"Because it's state-owned they could do a carve out, a quick piece of legislation," said Mr. Sabini, a former state Senator from Queens.

my guess is, that was the plan from the start.
Use racetrack as a path to build the casino. take down the racetrack. keep the casino.

Good -
anyone that's ever known anyone involved in racing knows that the animals are horribly abused and killed as soon as they stop making money for the owners. It's an incredibly evil practice.
So tax the casinos like mad. I'm just sorry for all the families that will suffer due to gambling addicts but better to have them do it legally and then tax the casinos.

100% myth and scare-tactics perpetuated by the likes of PETA and other animal care extremists.
