NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg made some surprising remarks about casinos, indicating that even though he's anti-gambling he could be open to the idea of a casino in New York City.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Friday said he was "honestly annoyed" that the state only allows gambling on Indian reservations, adding that the city might as well have a casino too.

Link I wouldn't get your hopes up for a casino in NYC any time soon, but it sounds like it actually could happen. There are a bunch of roadblocks that would have to be removed, not the least of which is amending the NY state constitution.

I AM AGREE THAT NEW YORK CITY IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE CASINOS LIKE ANY OTHER BIG CITY IN THE WORLD. IF FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA HAVE IT...WHY NOT US?
