(US).- Steve Wynn is considering bidding to build a casino on the site of a former chemical plant in Everett, Massachusetts, as the Las Vegas casino developer pursues a site for the second time in the Bay State.

In May, Wynn pulled out of a deal with The Kraft Group, owner of the New England Patriots, that would have built a us$ 1 billion casino-resort adjacent to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

The Boston Globe reported last Monday that Wynn is expected to visit the Everett site on Wednesday. The land, which is located in the Greater Boston area, is a former Monsanto Chemical site, the Globe reported.

Wynn's application will create competition for the sole Greater Boston casino license, competition the state's gambling commission wants to encourage. Suffolk Downs, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, has already applied for casino development rights for the horse track northeast of Boston. Wynn Resorts executives declined to comment Monday.

According to Massachusetts state law, the gambling commission can only issue up to three casino licenses, no more than one in each of three regions in the state. Shares of Wynn Resorts lost us$ 1.76, or us$ 1.61 percent, on Monday to close at us$ 107.57 on the Nasdaq.
