The progress toward full casino legalization in Albany, Odato says, is prompting a “feeding frenzy,” because the legislation allows only seven casinos, while the New York Gaming Association, which is one of the main lobbyists for casino gaming legislation, has nine members. With a V.L.T., the result of each play is determined by a central computer and not by circuitry within the machine itself, as is the case with slot machines.
What’s a V.L.T.? It’s a slot machine.Under New York state law, however, slots are illegal.
