Wampanoag tribes scout for potential casino locations

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

The two federally recognized tribes in Massachusetts are looking a new sites for potential casinos.

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe already signed a casino agreement with the town of Middleboro and submitted a land-into-trust application for a gaming site. But tribal leaders recently contacted officials in Fall River about locations there.

The Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe is also interested in Fall River, along with Freetown. But unlike the Mashpees, the tribe says it wants to pursue a commercial casino, should gaming be legalized in Massachusetts.
