The New York Gaming Commission has opened bidding to any operator looking to score a casino license in the Southern Tier.

Applications are due in July but so far only Tioga Downs, a harness racing track and electronic gambling facility based in Nichols, New York, has announced plans to bid for the license.

Tioga Downs lost out on the first three casino licenses given out by the commission but was undaunted by the rejection. According to owner Jee Gural, the company has worked hard trying to improve its application.

Binghamton Mayor Richard C. David told the Bellingham Herald that there’s some “interest” in pursuing a casino license in his town, although he’s unsure a second bidder will enter the fray.
