Gambling Industry Jobs New York

Duane Morris gaming lawyers carefully consider and evaluate the impact of any advice – regardless of the task at hand – on our clients’ continued compliance with gaming laws and their reputation among gaming regulators for honesty, integrity and business acumen. That is our value add.

Duane Morris gaming attorneys have decades of experience representing the diverse and growing range of participants in the gaming industry. We have significant experience advising clients including owners and operators of casinos and pari-mutuel wagering facilities, online/mobile operators, manufacturers of gaming equipment and software, eSports entities, key employees, banks and non-traditional lenders, as well as vendors that provide goods and services to casinos. With the advent of internet and mobile gaming and the proliferation of sports wagering after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in May of 2018, we also represent technology providers for internet and mobile gaming, sports wagering operators and multimedia companies seeking to coordinate, work with and form partnerships with these new industry participants.

Licensing, Findings of Suitability and Approvals

All gaming industry participants, from the largest operators and national banks to the vendors in the food court, share a common element: participation in the gaming industry requires a license or approval from a state or tribal gaming regulatory authority and/or an approval by a corporate compliance committee, who issue findings of suitability after conducting rigorous background investigations.

As a core area of our practice, Duane Morris helps clients obtain and maintain these valuable licenses and approvals, guiding them from the initial application, to the investigation and interview process, to the public hearing on the finding of suitability and issuance of a license or approval, through the ongoing obligation to update regulators. Where permitted by applicable regulations or policies, we deftly pursue waivers or exemptions from licensing requirements on behalf of investors, banks and others who do not exert the requisite control over the gaming enterprise.

How will the new casino affect the economy in New York is yet to be determined, but many are confident that the casino will boost the economy of New York by creating lots of jobs in the gambling industry.

Maintaining Compliance with Regulations

Clients frequently seek our advice on such matters as whether a gaming employee’s conduct justifies or requires discipline, whether a patron’s behavior requires exclusion from the casino, or whether an affiliate’s activity in another jurisdiction requires regulatory approval. With our extensive work in the industry, we interpret gaming regulations and work with regulators to address these issues promptly and clearly. Our lawyers regularly attend the monthly meetings of the gaming regulators in the jurisdictions in which we practice to follow closely any trends or changes in regulatory policy that may be under consideration.

1. Law enforcement in New York has made ongoing strides to, ahem, clean up the industry. It was one of Rudy Giuliani's top priorities as New York City mayor, and he and attorney Robert Morgenthau oversaw indictments throughout the 1990s of members of the Genovese and Gambino crime families. Still, the Mafia presence persists.
2. Casino Industry Jobs – A Brief History of Gambling The exact origin of gambling is unknown. The Chinese recorded the first official account of the practice in 2300 B.C., and it is generally believed that gambling, in one form or another, has been present in almost every society since.

Duane Morris gaming lawyers advise compliance committees of casinos and equipment manufacturers on regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, compliance audits and internal investigations. Our goal is not only to help clients conduct the required investigations of those with whom they do business and document those efforts for regulators, but also to identify and address potential issues before they become areas of concern to regulators. We then develop practical solutions to address the issues and fashion disclosures that satisfy legal requirements, while remaining sensitive to our clients’ needs and reputations.

Focusing on the Long Game

With the complex regulatory requirements surrounding gaming, companies can unknowingly commit violations and risk fines or other sanctions through normal business dealings. Negotiating and documenting material agreements, loans and M&A transactions, preparing offering documents, or handling disputes in the gaming industry can present unexpected challenges and consequences. For example, gaming regulators might disapprove if a large industry participant were to seek unreasonable concessions from a small vendor. Duane Morris gaming lawyers carefully consider and evaluate the impact of any advice – regardless of the task at hand – on our clients’ continued compliance with gaming laws and their reputation among gaming regulators for honesty, integrity and business acumen. That is our value add.

State Gaming Agencies, Boards, Commissions and Departments COVID-19 Guidance

It’s not always easy to heed the advice of “The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers. Knowing when to hold ’em and when to walk away just isn’t ever that easy to predict. Governor Cuomo is in a unique quandary, determining aspects of the state’s economy.

How will the new casino affect the economy in New York is yet to be determined, but many are confident that the casino will boost the economy of New York by creating lots of jobs in the gambling industry.

Terry Goodwin, the staff editor of CasinoGamblingWeb.com, writes, “In addition to the jobs, the new gaming options will bring hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to the state. The money from that revenue could be used to reduce the state budget deficit and eventually ensure that no further layoffs will be needed at the governmental level.”

Goodwin writes out of concern that Governor Cuomo’s proposed budget cuts will yield more layoffs that will stifle the creation of this new casino.

Recruiters, especially New York recruiters, may be interested to follow the issue and determine where to cast their chips. Will the casino boost the state’s economy while creating thousands of new jobs? Will the project come to a halt? Or will the casino begin to operate but have little effect on the economy?

And will the Aqueduct subway stop come to be used more regularly?
