In other news affecting MGM Resorts International, the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes’ plan to build a casino in East Windsor, Connecticut — just a dozen miles or so from the recently opened MGM Springfield across the state border in Massachusetts — was dealt a big setback last weekend.
Per the Connecticut Post, Judge Rudolph Contreras of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia ruled that neither the state of Connecticut nor the Mashantucket Pequots have ’legal standing to compel’ Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to revise the state’s current gambling agreement with the tribe.
Even though Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy signed an act in July 2017 that would allow the Pequots and Mohegans to build a gaming facility in East Windsor, that authorization was contigent on revisions being made to the state’s current revenue sharing deal with the tribes. ’Without Zinke’s approval, the East Windsor project is blocked indefinitely,’ explains the CT Post.
The decision represents a victory for MGM whose new $960 million MGM Springfield opened in August of this year. MGM expects to draw from five to six million visitors a year to the new resort casino, the majority of whom are expected to come from the region including the northern part of Connecticut.
Judge Contreras additionally approved a motion to dismiss the lawsuit while also granting MGM ’the right to intervene if the state and tribe appeal his decision.’
’The thorough and unambiguous federal court ruling can only be seen as a clear rejection of the Tribes’ insistent efforts to obtain a no-bid commercial casino license in Connecticut,’ said MGM in response to the ruling. ’It has become increasingly apparent that the Tribes’ promises of legal victory, no matter how often they are repeated, prove hollow.’
Meanwhile the tribes signaled an intention to continue the battle. ’We remain committed to both seeing this process through and to the people of Connecticut and our partners in state government,’ said Andrew Doba, spokesperson for MMCT Venture, the group representing the two tribes’ efforts. Doba said the tribes are reviewing options for how to respond.Sports Handicapper ’Haralabob’ Hired by Dallas Mavericks
