Aqueduct Gaming LLC is committed to creating a world-class gaming and entertainment facility at Aqueduct Racetrack. The 307,000 square-foot video lottery terminal (VLT) gaming, hospitality and entertainment venue will be a world-class destination that is consistent with and respects the existing character of the community, as well as provides jobs for local residents. Unlike any other organization, Aqueduct Gaming’s master plan will reflect the character of the neighborhood with extensive input from the community.
"The people of Queens expect and deserve a project that will enhance their community, not detract from it,” said William Bissett, leader in the coalition of New York companies comprising Aqueduct Gaming.
Aqueduct Gaming’s coalition of New York based companies brings together strong, world-class experience in VLT, gaming and entertainment operations. Our proven track record of successful public-private partnerships in New York State and our collective history of high-quality design make us the clear choice for the successful development of Aqueduct Racetrack.
Aqueduct Casino and Racetrack, operated by our best in class New York team, will generate substantial jobs, revenue and economic development to the Queens community and the State of New York, benefiting education and the community while also providing substantial support to the thoroughbred racing industry.
Aqueduct Gaming has committed a significant licensing proposal to New York, including a secure and guaranteed upfront payment, as well as additional payments through the first years of the facility's operations.
