Three tribes are bidding on commercial casinos in Massachusetts.
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal
Nation of Connecticut is bidding on a license in the eastern region.
The tribe wants to open a $1 billion casino in Milford, a town about 35 miles from Boston, the most populous city in the state.
The Mohegan Tribe, also from Connecticut, is bidding on a license for the western region.
The $600 million Mohegan Sun Palmer
will be competing with an $800 million proposal from Hard Rock International,
which is owned by the Seminole
Tribe of Florida.
The Massachusetts Gaming
Commission expects to issue a decision on both licenses in early 2014.
