Movie buffs and fans of dine-in theaters, you’re in luck. The popular, Austin-based cinema chain Alamo Drafthouse announced that it’s rolling out a ticket subscription service called Alamo Season Pass at all of its locations by the end of the year.

For $20, you can see unlimited movies at the theater – which is actually cheaper than buying two individual tickets.

Here’s how it works: sign up for the pass, use the Alamo Drafthouse Mobile App to reserve your seat, and then use the app to unlock your ticket when you get to the theater.

You have to be a member of Alamo Victory, the company’s free rewards program, to sign up.

The company introduced a beta test of the season pass at its Raleigh, North Carolina, and Yonkers, New York, locations over the summer.

In less than a month, the Yonkers location had more than 40,000 people on the waitlist.

Alamo Drafthouse follows in the footsteps of chains like AMC and Cinemark, which each have similar subscription services available for $19.95 and $8.99, respectively (Cinemark’s pass only includes one movie ticket per month).

However, Alamo is the only one that’s doing totally unlimited tickets.

It’ll be interesting to see how that works out for them, especially considering how MoviePass got into serious financial trouble when it tried out something similar last year.

Coincidentally, that company also decided to bring back its unlimited plan yesterday.

There’s no word yet on when the Alamo Season Pass will be available to Texans, which seems a little ironic.

“I am very skeptical about some casino deal put together by casino operators promising billions of dollars and everybody is happy,” Governor Andrew Cuomo

ALBANY: The state in 2014 awarded casinos to four upstate locations, which have struggled to meet revenue projections since they’ve opened.

As part of the deal, which was crucial for all or most of them to obtain financing, the state agreed to a moratorium on any further casino licenses being given until 2023.

The state has three licenses left that it can hand out under the terms of a 2013 law, and all three would be—given the downstate population density and the upstate gambling saturation—centered in and around New York City.

Andrew Cuomo said the state in 2014 went through a rigorous process to competitively bid out the four upstate casino licenses and that he isn’t about to change that for the remaining three licenses left for the future.

In 2013, Andrew Cuomo had a major fight with racetracks and racino operators over the looming awarding of licenses for the Las Vegas-style casinos.

The racinos argued that they were best positioned to transition quickly into full casinos and should be awarded the casino licenses without a competitive bidding process.

On Tuesday, Andrew Cuomo again rejected that idea being put forward now by the owners of the Aqueduct and Yonkers racinos.

Andrew Cuomo added that he has had zero discussions in ongoing budget talks with any of the legislative leaders about a downstate casino plan

DANGEROUS SITUATION: The district is facing a $60 million budget deficit, but this year the city is proposing a permanent solution to the annual problem that affects 39 schools in the fourth-largest district in the state.

YONKERS: Leaders say amending the current foundation formula is a solution to fix the chronic underfunding from Albany, but failing that will the Yonkers School board move towards firing all of the school bus monitors

If the state can’t fill the hole, teachers’ jobs, extracurriculars and full day pre-K may be on the chopping block, along with the needed bus monitors
