MINUTES NEW YORK STATE RACING and WAGERING SPECIAL BOARD MEETING of JULY 19, 2000 a Meeting of the New York State Racing And MINUTES NEW YORK STATE RACING AND WAGERING SPECIAL BOARD MEETING OF JULY 19, 2000 A meeting of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board was held on Thursday, July 19, 2000 at 11:30 a.m. at the Racing & Wagering Board’ s Albany Office located at 1 Watervliet Avenue Extension, Albany, New York. The meeting was called to order at 11:30 a.m. In Attendance Were: Michael J. Hoblock, Jr., Chairman Joseph Neglia, Member Cheryl Buley, Member Nicole Thuillez, Secretary to the Board Robert Feuerstein, General Counsel Gregg Schreffler, Chief of Audits Joe Lynch, Chief of Racing Operations Also in Attendance Were: Dianne Landor, NYSR&WB Nicole Robilotto, NYSR&WB Stacey Walker, NYSR&WB Rick Goodell, NYSR&WB Steve Baldwin, GORR Stephen Syzdek, GORR Skip Carlson, Saratoga Equine Sports Center Charles Coppola, Coppola, Ryan & McHugh Martin Tuczinski, Capital OTB Melissa Pulver, Division of Budget Cassandra Allison, Division of Budget Dan Wray, NYC OTB OPEN COMMENT PERIOD: Skip Carlson from Saratoga Equine Sports Center spoke regarding Saratoga's request to have a Sysco night in which Sysco invites 1500-2000 of their customers to sample their foods, new products etc. To keep the customers entertained, Sysco would like to offer each customer a $500 non-betting voucher to take place on qualified races. There would be wagering based on odds and at the end of the evening customers will bid on prizes. Mr. Carlson explained that this was a good way to promote harness racing and Sysco paid all of Saratoga's employees. Saratoga also brings in profits through the sale of food and beverages. Chairman Hoblock and Robert Feuerstein explained to Mr. Carlson that according to the law this is considered pari-mutuel wagering because the guests are ultimately competing against each other for prizes which will be provided by Sysco. The Chairman also stressed that he believed this was a great way to promote harness racing; however under the law it is not possible. A format was set up last year that would be permissible under the law but Saratoga chose not to use that format. The format that was set up last year would be the way to handle this within the law. Mr. Carlson will bring this information back to Saratoga/Sysco and will get back to the Board. The event would be in October. Steve Baldwin from GORR introduced himself and stated that he and Stephen Syzdek were there just to observe and get a better understanding of the workings of our agency. Dan Wray, a lobbyist for NYC OTB and representing the Mayor's office, spoke during the discussion of the "E" item regarding NYC OTB. He discussed the decision by NYC OTB not to take certain tracks and stated that a letter will be sent the next day regarding their decision.

  • Fiscal and Capacity Requirements
    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE GAMING REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY Area 2: Fiscal and Capacity Requirements October 21, 2013 0 Table of Contents 1 Approach By direction of NH RSA 284-A, the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority has directed WhiteSand to prepare a report identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the 2013 NH legislative proposals as compared to the best and most relevant components of the regulatory provisions in the other comparator states. This part of the report addresses fiscal and capacity requirements: WhiteSand has approached this particular task using a formal methodology to determine market demand. We reviewed the specific demographics and other attributes of the gaming jurisdiction to be evaluated. This included, but was not limited to, population, income levels, age distribution, nearby competition and gaming tax rates. We evaluated these factors within ranges of 30, 60 and 90 miles of the proposed gaming facility general location. In order to provide a consistent measurement of demographics within a specific region we use distance radii from the region. Using distance rather than driving time eliminates fluctuations due to drive times, day of week, unpredictable events (e.g., accidents, weather, etc.) and other factors. Distance radii are translatable to drive times in most scenarios and provide more consistent results due to the reduction of unpredictability. Using this information, we then identifed a “Competitive Set” for the proposed gaming facility - other gaming properties to be compared based on similar demographics and characteristics. While the properties identified in the competitive set usually do not provide an exact match, they present enough similarities to evaluate market demand and estimate key financial statistics.
