New Yorkers are all in for casinos.

Voters on Tuesday easily approved a Gov. Cuomo-backed amendment to the state Constitution that allows up to seven Las Vegas-style casinos in New York.

“The passage of Proposal One is a big win for local governments, school districts, and taxpayers across New York State,” Cuomo said in a statement.

Cuomo’s effort was supported by a powerful coalition of business and labor leaders who raised more than $4 million for the campaign to support the amendment.

They argued the casinos would help revitalize struggling upstate regions and reclaim gambling dollars being lost to other states.

“Since taking office, my administration has focused on reviving the state’s economy, and today’s vote will further pave the way for the creation of new jobs, construction, and increased tourism in communities across the state,” Cuomo said.

Opponents accused the administration of over-selling the benefits of casinos and complained the gambling parlors would drain money from poor and working-class New Yorkers.

“I think it is a bad public policy,” said David Blankenthorn, of the Institute for American Values.

The casino amendment was one of six ballot questions voters faced Tuesday. A measure that would have raised the retirement age for state judges from 70 to 80 was soundly defeated.

The casino amendment’s victory means the state can implement an already-approved plan for the initial rollout of four commercial gambling parlors in three upstate regions: the Catskills, the Capital Region and the Southern Tier, along the Pennsylvania border.

The Cuomo-controlled state Gaming Commission is expected to begin seeking bids from casino operators early next year and make final selections sometime later in 2014.

Casinos would be banned in the city and its suburbs for at least seven years. None of the new casinos would be located near the five gaming palaces operated by Indian tribes upstate.

Administration officials estimate the new casinos would generate 6,700 construction jobs and 2,900 permanent jobs.

An additional $420 million in tax revenue would also be generated, they claim, much of it directed to education. City schools would get up to $94 million a year in new aid, according to the estimates.
