The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal
Nation of Connecticut might lose its slot machine license in Pennsylvania.
The tribe and a group of investors won a license for the Foxwoods Casino
Philadelphia nearly three-and-a-half years ago, The New London Day reported.
But the project "has no funds, no prospects of funding, and no viable alternative plan to construct the facility for which it was licensed," the investigative division of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said.
The tribe was going to hand majority control of the casino to gaming mogul Steve
Wynn. But he pulled out at the last minute earlier this month.
The tribe and its partners have 30 days to respond to the board's petition to revoke the license.
