Re: question about gambling
I know of at least one casino in NY...its on the Mowhawk reservation near Massena NY. on Route 37. So I don't think that its completly illegal, but I do think that its only legal on a reservation.

they are legal on reservations because they are not state land, I think. reservations are the exception, aren't they illegal anywhere else?

but that new casino in yonkers is a good point.

Not all gambling is illegal in NYS. Bingo, horseracing and lottery type games are all forms of legal gambling.

Re: question about gambling
I think it also depends on what they have yonkers and even the place in monticello don't have any kind of poker or high stake games I think they mostly have slots I'm not sure if they have any table games even like Black Jack and roulett.

Re: question about gambling
The horse race betting - you are betting against all the other people that are betting - not against the house, like in a casino.
