Mayor Bloomberg on Tuesday offered his support for having casino gambling in New York City.

Governor Andrew Cuomo backs the idea of having casinos based in the Big Apple.

“Whatever he decides to do,” Bloomberg said of the governor in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, alluding to Cuomo’s potential plans, “we’ll be supporting him. I just want to make sure that if there is gambling, some of those revenues do come to New York City. We need the revenues as well, just like every other part of the state.”

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver also offered support for a full casino at the Aqueduct Racetrack, which is already home to a successful racino offering electronic versions of popular casino games. The Resorts World Casino opened at the Aqueduct in October and hit its 5000-person capacity by mid-afternoon that first day despite not having actual table games.
