(US).- Yesterday, Massachusetts gambling regulators adopted a plan that would allow Mohegan Sun to pursue a proposed resort casino on land owned by Suffolk Downs in Revere, but only after a second vote was held in the city.
Tuesday’s action by the panel gives Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs one week to request a waiver from commission rules that required a certified referendum vote before the Dec. 31 casino application deadline.
The compromise, approved unanimously by the five-member Massachusetts Gaming Commission, was an attempt to resolve a sticky dispute over whether the shift to a Revere-only facility would require another referendum.
The Revere casino proposal emerged after an earlier plan from Suffolk Downs to develop a casino on the Boston-Revere border was rejected November 5 by voters in the East Boston neighbourhood, while at the same time approved by Revere voters.
