In this Q&A with NREI, REIT veteran Ed Pitoniak, CEO of VICI, discusses growth prospects for the «experiential asset» REIT, the lessons he wants institutional investors to learn about gaming REITs and the possibility of expanding
beyond gaming properties.
NYPIRG says it is «deeply troubled» by the wording, which «seems to go
beyond explanatory or descriptive and trespass into advocacy» by highlighting all the potential benefits of more
gaming in New York — lower
property taxes, more education aid and job creation — but makes no mention of any of the downsides, like an increase in gambling addiction.
