ALBANY — In an upcoming book, longtime Capitol correspondent Tom Precious will tell the story of casinos in modern New York, including the current process of siting up to four
gambling halls upstate, the pacts between Native American tribes and past governors that gave birth to Turning
Stone and the three casinos operated by the Seneca Nation of Indians, as well as the video slot parlors approved by state leaders in 2001, just weeks after the September 11 attacks.
