In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the Connecticut House of Representatives passed a package of bills that would ultimately allow a third casino to be built in East Windsor. The Connecticut Mirror reports that the bill passed in a lopsided vote of 103-46.
The two-bill package would create an entertainment sharing agreement between the state’s two federally recognized tribes, the Mashantucket Pequot and the Mohegan, and several entertainment venues around the state.
Representative Christopher Davis, a Republican from East Windsor, voted for the bills even though he would have preferred there had been an open bid for a third casino.
“I think there are some constitutional issues that might come with this casino being put into East Windsor. That is to be adjudicated by the courts. But I think a lot of the research I have done, the meetings I have had across the district, have assured me that this facility would bring a benefit to the Town of East Windsor ultimately.”
The House bills contain additional provisions that were not in a similar bill that passed in the Senate. Casino romans sur isere. So they’ll have to be approved by the Senate before they can get to the governor’s desk for his signature.
The Mashantucket Pequot and the Mohegan want to build the East Windsor facility to compete with a $950 million casino being built by MGM in nearby Springfield, Massachusetts.
The operators of the MGM casino say the state violated federal law by not allowing bids from other parties for the state’s first commercial gaming license. They promise to fight in the courts.
Connecticut lawmakers and the state’s two tribes agreed to terms of legislation that would bring a third casino to the state, along with legal sports betting through run by the two tribes.
Currently, the only two casinos are located in the southeastern region of the state, near the Rhode Island border. The proposed third casino would be located in Bridgeport, about 90 minutes south and much closer to New York.
The Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes, owners of Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, would become partners for the Bridgeport casino. Earlier this year, there were reports of the two tribes partnering on a casino in the Hartford area. Since that report, the plans have shifted to a different location.
Gov. Ned Lamont was not involved in the legislation and it isn’t a lock that he supports the legislation, according to the Hartford Courant. Lamont received the legislation last week and wants to be involved in the process.
“A matter of such significance requires substantial involvement from multiple stakeholders, in particular, the executive branch,” Lamont told the Courant.
Sen. Cathy Osten, a Democrat, has requested a special legislative session for later in the year to work on the legislation. Other Democrats are mulling over the idea of a special session and said that they will consult Lamont before making a final decision.

According to the Courant, ‘Tribes also would conduct sports betting at the casinos, via mobile apps and internet gambling.’ The state lottery would be allowed to sell tickets online and offer iKeno through their website.Third Casino In Connecticut Opening

The tribes would be on the hook for the entire financial burden of the new casino. It forces the tribes to spend at least $100 million on the Bridgeport project in hopes that it would spark other businesses to sprout in the city and bring the total project to around $300 million in new investments.
There is a possibility that MGM, which was looking at Bridgeport as a possible site for a future casino, would take litigious action to stop the casino from breaking ground.
“They have sued many people,” said Osten when asked about the possible lawsuit. “That’s what they’ve done in the state of Connecticut, to stymie growth in business.”
If a court overturns the law, the bill would be revoked.Third Casino In Connecticut New YorkRelated Articles
