Sheldon Adelson I imagine

Adelson like 100 years old. He probably can't even sleep at night without wearing diapers from preventing him from peeing himself. Now he is going to take on Massachusetts politics in Gaming. NO WAY
 
Adelson is not coming back into this. He showed interest in the very early stages but it looks like he made a smart decision not to pursue.

Not to mention the fact that if Steve Wynn can't pass an MGC background check, hell will freeze over before Adelson is able to pass one.
 
You heard it here first, there will be an announcement in the coming days between Rush and Suffolk Downs. I'm surprised but it is going to happen
 
Gov to Wampanoag: Don’t bet on state gambling license

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
A boutique Martha’s Vineyard casino probably isn’t in the cards for the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah, Gov. Deval Patrick said yesterday, saying “law isn’t made by a letter.”

Patrick said he tried to reach out to tribe chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais with no luck a day after the surprise announcement the tribe was forging ahead with plans for an island gambling parlor in an unused community center.

“All our legal analysis has been that they need a license,” said Patrick, whose office has said the Wampanoag of Gay Head forfeited their gambling rights in the 1980s. “I say that respectfully. I know that they want to be able to game as a right.

“I want her to know we want to work with them,” he added of Andrews-Maltais, “but we’re going to have to resolve this question, and I think the merits are with us.”

Patrick said he hadn’t seen the legal opinion from the National Indian Gaming Commission, which approved plans for a “class II gaming facility” on the island.

“We’ll look at that, but ... law isn’t made by a letter,” Patrick said, setting the stage for what could make for a protracted battle amid the state’s already unpredictable expanded gambling market.

Patrick’s chief lawyer reiterated the administration’s stance in a statement, saying the settlement requires a state license for a gambling establishment, which Patrick declined last year.

And Aquinnah Selectman Spencer Booker told the Herald that people on the island worry about its physical and fiscal impact.

Gotta love this hypocrite. These people make me sick.
 
Minutes into this NECN interview with lame-duck mayor Thomas M Menino, his honor questions where da money for the East Boston anti-casino effort came from.

Yes, Tom, the defeat of the referendum is the result of $40,000 being spent by a group of residents. They relied on outside money to win even though the pro-casino forces had $2 million in funds to promote themselves.

What an asshole, plain and simple. Accept it, Menino, you crook.

I don't think that Suffolk -- aka Menino can pull this one out of the fire

The same usual suspects who torpedoed the casino at Suffolk when it was in East Boston will probably be in Federal Court suing ASAP

No Suffolk will try to be some sort of development -- will fail and will become a key site for the 2024 Games

Londons Olympic Village was only 67 acres, so the Boston Olympic Village could easily fit into the 116 acres at Suffolk Downs.

Beeline -- any sense of how its developed / evolved since the Olympics left?
 
I'm reading on Twitter that Milford's proposals went down in flames today. Roughly 2 to 1 against.
 
Does that make Wynn's Everett casino the sole viable contender for this region?
 
Hopefully the Everett casino finishes cleaning up the site right before they decide it's not actually economically viable to build another casino and it folds, leaving the land for something else

Wynn needs to be "found suitable" by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission first. This is the same group that he recently referred to as "freshmen." We'll see how that goes...
 
Revere may be in the running as well...

Although if the opposition gets 70,000 signatures this thing ends up on a ballot and this casino business may get voted out
 
the Revere proposal is in complete disarray. They don't even know if there will still be a horse racing track.
