On Monday, local lawmakers approved a series of agreements that could lead to the construction of Connecticut’s first casino on nontribal land.
After Connecticut's Governor Dannel Malloy signed the compacts and memoranda of understanding between the state and the two federally recognized tribes -the Mashantucket Pequots and the Mohegans- the state Senate approved the amended agreements that will pave the way for the construction of East Windsor casino.
According to local media, the revised agreements ensure that a proposed satellite casino the tribes want to build in East Windsor to compete with MGM Resorts' casino in Springfield will not compromise the state's current revenue-sharing arrangement with the tribes, which own Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun.
MGM has said it will continue to challenge the state’s process in court.
