Mohegan Tribe monitors gaming debate in Massachusetts

Tuesday, April 13, 2010  

The Mohegan Tribe owns casinos in Connecticut and Pennsylvania and could soon be opening one in Massachusetts.

The tribe wants to build a resort in Palmer, in western Massachusetts. That's about 60 miles from the reservation, where the tribe operates Mohegan Sun.

The plan depends on passage of a bill in Massachusetts that would authorize two resorts. The tribe plans to compete for a license.

The tribe also operates Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania, a state-licensed facility with slot machines. Table games are being added.
