Nassau Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation and Suffolk Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation · Records retrieved November 9, 2026

Two public betting corporations, the jobs around them, and a payroll the open datasets do not show.

Nassau OTB takes wagers in Nassau County and holds a block of video gaming machines at Resorts World New York City. Suffolk OTB takes wagers in Suffolk County and operates Jake's 58 Hotel & Casino. This page puts the two corporations next to each other using figures printed in Gaming Commission reports, both counties' 2024 financial reports, a NIFA consulting assessment, Comptroller audits, court opinions, the State Board of Elections contribution file, and the corporations' own minutes and website.

Where a dollar of betting goes

The arrows use calendar year 2024 lines from the Gaming Commission annual report. Handle is the amount wagered. Pari-mutuel revenue is the corporation's take from that handle. Statutory and simulcast payments, including the state pari-mutuel tax, come out of pari-mutuel revenue. The video-gaming enterprise line is a separate income line. It is not the machine net win in the monthly reports. Section 516 is what the statute leaves for distribution after the corporation's costs. Racing Law 516 splits that net revenue among participating counties, half by where the wagers were placed and half by population. Nassau and Suffolk are each a one-county region, so the participating county is the county that created the corporation.

Video-gaming net win is a different pipe

Fiscal year 2024–25 net win is credits played minus credits won on the machines. The Gaming Commission splits each facility's net win into education, the gaming floor, and an agent commission. For the Nassau machines at Resorts World, those three printed lines add to the printed net win. For Jake's 58 they add to one dollar more than the printed net win. The rings draw the three lines. The center is the printed net win, not a recalculation. The report says the Nassau agent commission is not, by itself, the check Nassau OTB receives. That check follows a hosting agreement.

Tale of the tape

Each card uses the latest full period that was retrieved for that measure. The periods are not the same. Video-gaming net win is a Gaming Commission fiscal year ending in March. Handle and Section 516 distributions are calendar years. Both net-position figures are December 31, 2024. Nassau's combining statement is printed in thousands of dollars; the card shows those thousands multiplied by 1,000.

Handle, calendar years 2023 and 2024

The Gaming Commission annual reports print in-state handle, out-of-state handle, and total handle for each regional corporation. Adding each year's in-state and out-of-state figures produces the printed total for both Nassau and Suffolk in both years.

Video gaming: Jake's 58 and the Nassau machines at Resorts World

These are two different facilities in the Gaming Commission's monthly reports. Jake's 58 is labeled Jake's 58 Hotel & Casino. The Nassau report is labeled Nassau OTB VGMs at Resorts World. A note on the Nassau pages says that under Tax Law 1617-a(a)(4), Resorts World can designate up to 1,000 video gaming machines as Nassau OTB machines, and that actual payments to Nassau OTB are subject to a hosting agreement.

The fiscal year on these reports runs from April through March. The chart uses the nine full fiscal years from 2017–18 through 2025–26. Fiscal 2016–17 and the unfinished 2026–27 page are in the table and are not drawn as if they were full years.

Net win by Gaming Commission fiscal year. Net win is credits played minus credits won. It is not the amount paid to the corporation, and it is not the Section 516 distribution.

Fiscal 2024–25 split of net win

The Nassau page for fiscal 2024–25 prints education $127,965,179, gaming floor and administration $28,436,706, and agent commission $127,965,179. Those three printed amounts add to the printed net win of $284,367,064. The same page says the agent commission is not, by itself, the payment Nassau OTB receives.

The Jake's 58 page prints education $135,190,030, gaming floor and administration $30,042,229, and agent commission $135,190,030. Adding those three printed amounts comes to one dollar more than the printed net win of $300,422,288. This page leaves both the components and the net win as printed and does not adjust either figure.

The fiscal 2026–27 Nassau page contains one filled month, April 2026, with net win $19,766,270 and an average of 900 machines. Later months on that page are blank. A note on the page says Resorts World New York City ceased operations as a video-lottery facility on April 27, 2026 and began operating as a commercial casino on April 28, 2026. Blank months are not treated here as zero. The Jake's 58 fiscal 2026–27 page prints a year-to-date total of $186,880,999 through October 2026. That is not a full fiscal year.

No Gaming Commission facility report retrieved for this page shows a video-gaming floor located in Nassau County. The March 26, 2026 Suffolk minutes say the Gaming Commission had approved a new floor plan for machines in a new building, and they discuss an expansion. They do not state a project cost or a completion date. The December 18, 2025 minutes describe a closing on 8.5 acres of vacant land. The January 29, 2026 minutes describe a permit to clear eight acres. Both acre figures are printed as the minutes state them.

Distributions, surcharges, and the video-gaming enterprise line

The annual reports define the enterprise-fund line for Nassau OTB and Suffolk OTB as the net revenue or loss from operation of a video gaming facility. That line is not the facility net win in the monthly machine reports. For calendar year 2024 the enterprise-fund amounts, read in the same column order as the labeled net-revenue row, are $38,521,889 for Nassau and $13,997,324 for Suffolk. For calendar year 2023 they are $41,511,446 and $15,179,836.

Nassau's 2024 distribution equals its Section 516 net revenue from operations, $28,085,218. Suffolk's 2024 distribution is the operations figure of $32,788,977 minus the capital-acquisition figure of $482,671. Operating expenses in the same reports were $17,757,682 and $13,702,687 in 2023.

The report says some operating-expense amounts include pension and other post-employment benefit amounts under GASB 68 and GASB 75. Those expense lines are not a cash payroll.

The printed all-regions Section 516 distribution for 2024 is $68,179,030. Adding the five regional figures in the extracted text of that line differs from the printed all-regions total by two dollars. This page shows the printed Nassau, Suffolk, and all-regions amounts and does not replace any of them with a recalculation.

Surcharge available for distribution as of December 31, 2024 is $1,247,688 for Nassau and $567,315 for Suffolk. The report says the table does not include surcharge retained by the corporation for corporate purposes or the capital acquisition fund.

Nassau distributions in the NIFA assessments

Deloitte's December 3, 2024 letter to the Nassau Interim Finance Authority says the procedures were performed under the consulting-services standard and did not constitute an audit or a review. The letter covers January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. It prints Section 516 net revenue for distribution of $25,000,000 in 2022 and $20,000,000 in 2023. The same letter's narrative describes "$45 million worth of net income, including royalties, and $2.21 million in surcharge distributions." Those rounded phrases are the letter's, for the two-year period.

A table in that letter lists eight quarterly profit-distribution amounts of $5,000,000. The letter also lists how many days after the stated due date each payment arrived: 76, 34, 40, 46, 26, 40, 39, and 45 days, from the first quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2023. A second dollar column on that table was not labeled cleanly in the text extraction, so it is not added to the quarterly amounts. The letter's rounded phrase of $45 million and the Section 516 lines of $25,000,000 and $20,000,000 are a different presentation from the quarterly list. This page does not force those presentations to equal each other.

The letter says five-branch net handle, including internet, telephone, and Fast Track, was $211,689,708 for the two calendar years together. It is not an annual handle, and it is not the Gaming Commission total-handle figure above.

The December 30, 2022 assessment, covering 2020 and 2021, prints Section 516 net revenue for distribution of $10,912,199 and $18,601,450. Its narrative says distributions from video-lottery royalties were $11.75 million in 2020 and $18 million in 2021, and $29.75 million together, and that surcharge distributions were $2.22 million. Those are the report's rounded figures. An appendix prints surcharge of $2,206,222 in NROTB's data and $2,216,731 in NIFA's data, a variance of $10,509.

The 2024 assessment says Nassau OTB must distribute 5 percent of monthly winning bets except internet wagers, Race Palace teletheater wagers, and account wagers with a preset balance of $300 or more. Management feedback dated November 8, 2024 says the Carle Place branch closed effective February 1, 2024 and telephone betting closed effective September 3, 2024. The assessment overview still listed five branches, including Carle Place. The corporation's About page, retrieved November 9, 2026, names President Joseph G. Cairo, Jr., says operations began in 1975, says there are 16 Fast Track locations "to date" without an as-of date, and names Valley Stream, Franklin Square, Levittown, and the Race Palace teletheater in the page footer.

Both counties' books, year ended December 31, 2024

Each county includes its regional OTB as a discretely presented component unit and says the county auditor did not audit the OTB statements. The opinions rely on other auditors for those columns. Nassau's report names the county auditor as CBIZ CPAs P.C. and does not name the firm that audited OTB. Suffolk's report likewise does not name OTB's auditor.

Nassau's combining statements, Exhibits A-3 and A-4, are printed in thousands of dollars. Every Nassau amount in this section is the printed thousands figure multiplied by 1,000. The note's GASB 101 sentence prints $105,032 in dollars. The thousands table prints the same adjustment as ($105,000). The roll-forward below uses the thousands table, which is the figure that ties to the ending net position.

Nassau OTB in the county report

Note 1 says the county is the corporation's sole shareholder, the County Legislature appoints a board of three, and at the close of 2024 there were sixteen operational facilities. It says the county receives a small portion of winning wagers and all net operating profits, and that the county has not received any net operating profit because of continued operating deficits. It also says OTB remits video lottery terminal revenue under a separate agreement. The general fund's revenue schedule, Exhibit B-1, prints a line called OTB Profits with actual revenue of $20,000,000, equal to the original budget for that line. The same schedule prints Off-Track Betting Surtax actual revenue of $1,002,000 against an original budget of $1,639,000. The note and the general-fund line use different labels. This page prints both and does not recast one as the other.

Separate OTB financial statements, the report says, may be obtained at 139 Liberty Avenue, Mineola, NY 11501. That separate PDF was not on the county financial-reports page retrieved November 9, 2026. The column below is the county report's OTB column.

Ending net position

Net investment in capital assets ($2,424,000), plus the capital-acquisition restriction $913,000, plus unrestricted deficit ($32,930,000), equals total net position ($34,441,000).

Beginning net position, as previously reported, ($44,990,000), plus the thousands-table GASB 101 adjustment ($105,000), equals restated beginning net position ($45,095,000). Adding the change in net position $10,654,000 equals the ending balance.

The year's activity

Expenses $44,842,000. Charges for services $20,210,000. Net program expense ($24,632,000). Investment income $708,000, other general revenue $4,049,000, and royalty income $30,529,000 add to general revenues of $35,286,000. Net program expense plus general revenues equals the change in net position.

The bonds-payable line in Exhibit A-3 is in the Bridge Authority column. The OTB column's debt line is notes payable of $4,347,000.

Suffolk OTB in the county report

Suffolk's report says separate OTB financial statements may be obtained at 425 Oser Avenue, Suite 2, Hauppauge, NY 11788. Those separate statements were not posted with the county report. The board minutes of 2025 and 2026 place meetings at 1180 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge. Both addresses are printed in the documents named here.

The report says the county appoints the corporation's board, can impose its will, and is entitled to the corporation's resources. It also says the county receives a percentage of wagers and all net operating profits, recorded in the county general fund. A dollar amount for that 2024 general-fund receipt was not printed on an OTB line in the text retrieved.

Net investment in capital assets $41,505,698, plus net position restricted for surcharges $1,922,975, plus unrestricted deficit ($43,898,162), equals total net position ($469,489).

Beginning net position ($25,547,177) plus the change in net position $25,077,688 equals the same ending balance. Charges for services were $339,991,598. Expenses in the government-wide component-unit column were $314,913,910. The difference between those two printed amounts is the $25,077,688 change.

What sits on the balance sheet

Total assets $430,214,340. Deferred outflows $32,933,650. Total liabilities $439,237,473. Deferred inflows $24,380,006. Current cash $46,931,398. The investments note says the investment balance was $103,460,871, in US Treasuries reported at fair value and classified as Level 1.

Program operations expense $92,030,384. Interest expense $20,135,706. Debt issuance costs $5,147,520.

Debt, pension, and OPEB

The long-term obligations line of $338,542,733 appears in the OTB column, and the component-unit total for that line is the same amount. The notes retrieved with that report do not name a bond series, a coupon, or a maturity schedule for that line. Restricted cash of $121,191,905 and restricted investments of $25,971,672 are separate lines. The notes do not describe them as the makeup of the long-term obligations line, so this page does not add them to it. Land is $22,643,538. Construction in progress ended the year at $64,893,390, after increases of $47,783,514.

Nassau's OPEB and pension lines are in the Nassau table above, from that county's report.

Who the records name

Nassau

The About page names Joseph G. Cairo, Jr. as president. The September 2015 Comptroller letter, report S9-14-64, is addressed to Joseph G. Cairo, President, and the members of the board, at 139 Liberty Avenue, Mineola. That letter says the board has three members appointed by the Nassau County Legislature. The county's 2024 financial report says the same thing about a three-member board and does not print the directors' names or terms. The audit period of the 2015 letter was January 1, 2009 through August 31, 2014.

The Authorities Budget Office directory datasets 4vym-q77x and 9zf7-z2m8, queried November 9, 2026, have no Off-Track Betting authority and no board roster for either corporation. A catalog search of data.ny.gov the same day did not turn up a separate PARIS board-member file. Names of the current three Nassau directors, their terms, and the appointing resolutions were not retrieved.

Both Deloitte assessments name Harris Beach PLLC as Nassau OTB's outside counsel. Neither states a fee.

Suffolk

The November 30, 2015 bankruptcy decision says the corporation was formed on October 7, 1974 after an April 22, 1970 county vote, and that the county appoints the three board members. The September 2015 Comptroller letter, report S9-14-65, says the three members are appointed by the Suffolk County Legislature. That letter is addressed to Philip Nolan, who was president during the audit period.

Minutes of March 26, 2026 name the directors present as John Giannott, chairman; Arlene D. Samos, vice-chairwoman; and James Kevins, Jr., secretary. The February 26, 2026 attendance list names the same three directors and these officers: Philip Boyle, president and chief executive; James LaCarrubba, vice president and chief operating officer; Michael Bonakdar, general manager; Richard Stafford, chief of staff; Thomas McNally, general counsel; Anthony Portesy, deputy general counsel; Celine Gazes, chief financial officer; Kristie L. Hansen, comptroller; Christine Geisler, director of finance; and Arthur Abbate, corporate director of human resources. Co-counsel to the board that day were Kevin Snover and John LaMura. The same attendance list names other titled staff. Their pay is not printed, and this page does not repeat rank-and-file names.

The minutes do not state when each director's term ends or which resolution appointed the person. No salary is printed next to any title.

Payroll, titles, and the 3 percent vote

There is no table of top earners on this page, and no payroll chart. A ranking would require a salary for each person. The files queried on November 9, 2026 do not provide a current salary, an overtime total, or a headcount.

The minutes name titles and do not print pay.Query date November 9, 2026
HeadcountNot retrieved. The December 18, 2025 minutes say the president discussed a timeline to hire 200 new employees by the middle of the next year. That sentence is a hiring target, not a count of current employees. The 2024 county report says there were sixteen operational facilities at year-end. That is a count of facilities.December 18, 2025 and December 31, 2024
Executive raiseThe board voted to authorize a 3 percent salary increase for two executive officers, President and Chief Executive Officer Phillip Boyle and Vice President James LaCarrubba. The minutes spell the first name Phillip in that motion. The attendance list of the same meeting, and the March 26, 2026 minutes, spell it Philip. The base salary is not printed, so the dollar value of 3 percent is not computed here.December 18, 2025
Nassau salaries and fringe benefitsThe 2015 Comptroller audit states that branch and corporate salaries and fringe benefits accounted for $19.9 million, 62 percent of operating expenses, in 2013. The audit also says salaries had decreased by approximately 26 percent, and fringe benefits had increased by approximately 65 percent, since 2009. Those sentences are the audit's, for 2013 and the 2009–2013 span. They are not a 2024 or 2025 payroll.CY2013, audit dated September 2015
Suffolk salaries and fringe benefitsThe 2015 Comptroller audit states that branch and corporate salaries and fringe benefits accounted for approximately $10.5 million, 60 percent of operating expenses, in 2013. The word approximately is the audit's. This page does not replace it with a precise dollar.CY2013, audit dated September 2015
Thanksgiving vouchersThe October 23, 2025 minutes authorize a Thanksgiving voucher of $40 for each employee. The minutes do not say how many employees received one, so a total is not computed.October 23, 2025

Directory files 4vym-q77x and 9zf7-z2m8 also returned no Off-Track Betting authority. Procurement, debt, and financial-summary files with no OTB rows were 8w5p-k45m, ehig-g5x3, d84c-dk28, p3p6-xqr5, vfju-zm9q, qbd7-9grw, f7ju-wpvk, cgg6-2ah8, and y6wc-tvay. Name filters included Bet, OTB, Wager, Racing, and Off-Track.

Contracts the records name, and the amounts they leave out

No procurement report in the ABO files queried on November 9, 2026 lists a vendor, an award date, and an amount for either corporation. Open Book New York's contract search, opened the same day, returned a page that said the application was currently unavailable, so no state payment register is shown. A vendor leaderboard of contract dollars is not drawn, because the documents do not print the contract dollars. The rows below are names that appear in a primary document. The amount column is blank where the document does not print one.

Minutes from January 2025 through September 2026 were read for dollar amounts. The only printed dollar in those resolutions is the $40 Thanksgiving voucher. March 2025's file is a two-page scan with no extractable text.

On May 28, 2026, James LaCarrubba told the board that a 5 percent vendor reduction fee should be granted by the State to Suffolk OTB and Jake's 58 after the Gaming Commission approves an application, and that he expected it to take effect July 1, 2026 if it was passed and signed. The minutes record that statement. They do not record an adopted fee or a dollar amount.

Suffolk's Chapter 9 cases, and the older handle audit

  1. The November 30, 2015 bankruptcy decision says a county vote that day preceded the corporation, which was formed on October 7, 1974. Nassau's About page says operations there began in 1975.

  2. The December 2, 2011 decision says the county legislature adopted Resolution 38-2011, the county executive approved it, and the petition in case 11-42250-CEC was filed March 18, 2011. The court dismissed it.

  3. Case 12-43503-CEC was filed. On May 8, 2014, Philip C. Nolan told the legislature's Ways and Means Committee that he came to OTB on July 1, 2012, and that the organization was already in bankruptcy.

  4. The November 30, 2015 decision says the court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Chapter 9 Plan on October 31, 2014, and that the plan's feasibility depended on a video-lottery facility. The county's 2019 report says the plan was confirmed October 22, 2014 and effective October 31, 2014. Both dates are printed. Neither document retrieved here is an order closing the case.

  5. Comptroller reports S9-14-64 and S9-14-65. Suffolk's letter says the corporation filed for Chapter 9 in May 2012. It does not discuss the dismissed 2011 petition.

  6. The 2019 county report says the corporation sued Delaware North Companies over their operation of Jake's 58, with a trial scheduled for July 13, 2020. The outcome was not retrieved.

  7. CBS News described Phil Boyle as incoming president and CEO. The 2026 minutes list him as president. April 27, 2026 is the date the Gaming Commission page says Resorts World ceased operating as a video-lottery facility.

There were two petitions. They are easy to collapse into one story, and the documents do not.

The same 2015 audits print net handle for 2009 through 2013. Nassau's report describes a 15 percent decline, which it states as $38.1 million, from $257.6 million to $219.5 million. Suffolk's report describes a 29 percent decline, which it states as $44.3 million, from $153.5 million to $109.2 million. The exact annual figures in the audits' Figure 1 are below. "Net handle" in the audit is not the same line as "total handle" in the later Gaming Commission reports, so the two series are not drawn on one chart.

Who gets the jobs and the contracts

Political patronage mill?

That phrase is a question, and it is also a phrase other people have used. A TBR News Media editorial on June 25, 2022 said that as recently as March a local activist had called Suffolk OTB "a known patronage mill." The editorial does not name the activist. On June 11, 2018, CBS News quoted Lawrence Levy, then of Hofstra University, saying patronage on Long Island is a political way of life that "greases the wheels of political organizations." A May 2011 Riverhead News-Review column said the bankrupt Suffolk corporation was a lesson in what happens when a money-making enterprise is run by political appointees. The 2015 Comptroller letters do not use the word patronage. They do say each board has three members appointed by the county legislature.

Racing Law 502 says the Nassau board and the Suffolk board each consist of three members appointed by the governing body of the county. Not more than two may be members of the same political party. Each director serves at the pleasure of the body that appointed that director. The same section says a general manager is the chief executive and serves under the board's supervision. The statute sets a political-appointment structure. It does not, by itself, say how any one person was hired.

Joseph G. Cairo, Jr.

President, Nassau OTB. Initials stand in for a photograph. No public-domain portrait was used.

Republican, as reportedAppointed role: president, not a director seat
Job in the recordPresident on the corporation's About page, retrieved November 9, 2026. The September 2015 Comptroller letter is addressed to him as president.
Political roleThe New York Post, June 10, 2018, said he was the new chairman of the Nassau County Republican Party and the head of Nassau OTB. CBS News, June 11, 2018, said the same. Bloomberg Government, August 20, 2026, called him the longtime chair. COLlive, October 5, 2026, called him Nassau County Republican Chairman.
Pay the outlets reportedPost and CBS, in 2018, reported OTB pay of $198,000. CBS reported a separate party-chair salary of $120,000. Neither figure is in the 2024 county report or the ABO files queried November 9, 2026. The Post said his predecessor, Joe Mondello, had also held the OTB presidency and the party chair.

Philip Boyle

President and chief executive, Suffolk OTB, in the 2026 minutes. The December 18, 2025 motion spells the first name Phillip.

Republican on the 2020 ballotFormer state senator
Elected officeNYSenate.gov says he served from January 1, 2013 to October 21, 2022, and that he lives in Bay Shore. The Suffolk County Board of Elections canvass for 2020 lists Philip M. Boyle on the Republican line for State Senate District 4, with Conservative and Independence lines as well.
The OTB jobCBS News on November 30, 2022 called him incoming president and CEO. By April 13, 2023, Long Island Life & Politics described him as president and CEO. Long Island Business News on January 21, 2025 wrote that he took the helm in January 2022. That month does not match the November 2022 "incoming" line. No board resolution retrieved for this page states the start date or who moved the appointment.
PayThe December 18, 2025 minutes authorize a 3 percent raise for him and for James LaCarrubba. The base is not printed. Investigative Post reported on July 24, 2025 that the Suffolk OTB leader earns $275,000. That figure is the outlet's, from an editor's note in a story about a different OTB. It is not in the minutes.

Philip C. Nolan

President during the 2015 Comptroller audit. Not a current officer in the 2026 minutes.

Democrat, in 2006 coverageFormer Islip supervisor
Elected officeNews 12, November 8, 2006, said Phil Nolan was elected Islip Town supervisor and was a Democrat, the town's first Democratic supervisor in four decades. Long Island Business News, November 17, 2006, said he had been minority leader of the Suffolk County Legislature.
The OTB jobOn May 8, 2014, at a Ways and Means Committee hearing, Philip C. Nolan, listed as president and CEO, said, "I came to OTB July 1st, 2012." The Suffolk County News wrote that he was appointed after losing the 2011 supervisor race to Republican Tom Croci, and that he retired in January 2021.
What the hearing also namesThe same minutes list Anthony Pancella III as vice president of OTB. The February 26, 2026 board minutes list Anthony Pancella as present for AP3 Consulting, which the board authorized for security and surveillance. The fee is not printed.

John Giannott

Chairman in the March 26, 2026 minutes. Of East Patchogue, in the appointing resolution.

Republican candidate, 2011Legislature appointment
Who appointed himResolution 241-2022, dated March 29, 2022, introduced by Presiding Officer McCaffrey and Legislator Thorne. It appoints John Giannott of East Patchogue to replace Eddie S. Wynn, at the pleasure of the Suffolk County Legislature, under Racing Law 502(1).
Political role in the recordPatch, November 9, 2011, identified him as the Republican candidate for Suffolk County Legislature, 7th District. The 2022 resolution does not state a party. A current party office was not in the records retrieved.
TermThe resolution says he serves at the pleasure of the legislature. It does not print an end date. The March 26, 2026 minutes list him as chairman.

Arlene D. Samos

Vice-chair in the 2026 minutes. Secretary on a November 6, 2019 board certificate.

Party not in the minutes35 years, per the board

The June 25, 2026 minutes say the president announced a proclamation for 35 years of service for Arlene Samos. The appointing resolution, the appointing year, and a party were not in the files retrieved. Campaign-finance rows under the name Arlene Samos were not matched to a published address for this director, so they are not totaled here.

James Kevins, Jr.

Secretary in the 2026 minutes. The resolution's title and resolved clause do not use the same middle initial.

Who appointed himResolution 1124-2024, introduced by Presiding Officer McCaffrey, dated December 17, 2024, and approved by County Executive Edward P. Romaine on December 18, 2024. Effective January 1, 2025. It replaces John B. Zollo, whose election to Suffolk County 4th District Court is the reason printed in the resolution. The title prints James J. Kevins. The resolved clause prints James K. Kevins, Esq., of Mount Sinai.
PartyThe resolution does not state a party. The June 25, 2026 minutes announce a proclamation for one year of service on the board, which matches a January 1, 2025 start. Donations under this name and ZIP are listed below. A donation is not a party enrollment.
Nassau's three seatsThe 2024 county report says the legislature appoints three directors and does not print their names. A January 6, 2015 Long Island Press letter is addressed to directors Joseph Bentivegna, Eric A. Harkin, and Frank DeStefano. Those names are from that letter. They are not a 2026 roster.

Curry, WCS Company, Employee Availability Solutions, and H2M are named in the minutes. A political office or a clean address match for those consultants was not retrieved, so no donation total is printed for them. Anthony Pancella's Lindenhurst donation rows were not used, because no retrieved document places the AP3 consultant at that address.

The May 2011 Riverhead News-Review printed party labels for a board and several employees of that time, including Dominick P. Feeney as a Democratic chairman, Herbert Hemendinger as a Republican vice chairman, and Eddie S. Wynn as a Democratic secretary. An editor's note on the column says an employee list was outdated and that some names were included by mistake. The names in that column are not the 2026 board. Resolution 241-2022 later replaced Eddie S. Wynn with John Giannott.

Not yet public / FOIL needed

Rows for the same last names at other cities, and rows for James LaCarrubba, Richard Stafford, and other first names, stay unassigned. This page does not assign those dollars to the OTB office. Delaware North appears under many legal names. This page does not add those name variants into one contribution total, because they are not one contributor string and the rows do not mention the 2019 lawsuit.

Sources and method

Figures were taken from the documents listed below and checked on November 9, 2026. A dollar amount on this page is the amount printed in the cited document for the year printed next to it. Adding two printed lines, such as the two OPEB lines or the in-state and out-of-state handle, is noted where the page does it. Where the parts and a printed total differ by a dollar or two, both stay as printed.

The Deloitte products are consulting assessments commissioned through the Nassau Interim Finance Authority. The December 3, 2024 letter says they are not an audit, a review, or a compilation, and that they express no opinion on the financial statements.

Gaming Commission video-gaming fiscal years end in March. Handle and Section 516 figures are calendar years. Both counties' component-unit figures are as of, or for the year ended, December 31, 2024. Nassau's combining statements are printed in thousands of dollars, and this page multiplies those printed thousands by 1,000. The 2009–2013 net-handle series is from the September 2015 Comptroller audits. Contribution rows are from data.ny.gov dataset e9ss-239a, queried November 9, 2026. The Schedule A rows for the six surnames, limited to the five-digit ZIPs named in the table, are saved at /data/otb/boe_e9ss_239a_2026-11-09.json.

The machine-readable copy of the amounts is /data/otb/figures.json. Each amount carries the source key, the period, and the retrieval date.
