Poker faces on casino designs

James M. Odato

Albany

It is unclear who is proposing casinos in Albany and Schenectady because several of the 22 prospective developers that deposited $1 million fees Wednesday with the state gaming commission did not disclose the projects they represent.

David Flaum told the Times Union that his entry fee had been advanced to the New York Gaming Commission, making his proposal for Exit 23 in Albany eligible for a casino license application. Yet the list of names of fee filers did not include Flaum or his known team members. He declined to explain.

David Buicko, the development executive for Galesi Group, revealed that the casino operator he's been talking to concerning the multifaceted project he's developing along the Mohawk River in Schenectady put in money. But he wouldn't name the entity.
