Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe continues to look for gaming sites


The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts continues to look for gaming sites, Chairman Cedric Cromwell said.

Soon after gaining federal recognition, the tribe started the land-into-trust process for a casino in Middleboro. The deal fell through after the tribe went with a different investor.

A second site in Fall River also fell through after the tribe amended its land-into-trust application. Now it appears a third location at a old dog track is no longer on the table.

"We continue to carefully evaluate multiple sites throughout our ancestral homeland in Southeastern Massachusetts with an eye toward securing a location that will provide the best opportunity for our tribe as we move forward with our plans for a resort casino," Cromwell told The Cape Cod Times in a statement.
