Anyway, there are really two exceptions to the gambling ban under NY Law. The first and biggest is the various forms of state sponsored gambling -- lotteries, horse racing, the slots in Yonkers. (The second is charitable gambling and that is only allowed with in a narrow band that does not include poker -- despite all the charitable poker tournaments.) There is very little incentive to begin the political fight to legalize for-profit gambling in any form. There is also a fairly strong and organized lobby against it (the morals/religous police as well as the lobbies paid for by the Indian Casinos and AC).
