MGM Resorts, now building a huge "destination" casino in Springfield, calls on Connecticut to open the bidding process for a third casino. A top company executive insists that the state should be able to get a much better deal than it currently has with the tribal operators of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, for a new and much smaller "satellite" casino, planned for East Windsor.

MGM claims that is the wrong location, and the wrong size, but the tribes say it's a perfect size and location, to compete with MGM's new facility only 15 miles from East Windsor, and prevent significant losses in gambling revenue for Connecticut.

The MGM exec makes no secret of the company's interest in building a casino in Connecticut, should state lawmakers approve an expansion of casino gambling to a location not on tribal lands.

How's their DC operation doing?

huh ? They already have a casino and hotel and theatre
attached to Foxwoods.

This would be oversaturation.

Nah. Tons of money in CT and NY and quite a bit of gamblers in Boston. Atlantic City has gotten a little stale. People will travel to the nicer venues.

It's doing well. Minimum on the craps/blackjack tables were $50 for the first few weeks and most of the tables are down to $25 minimum now. They are full on weekends and decent during the week.

Nice poker room. They are going to expand it soon. Slight brag-I played in the 1/3 game yesterday and turned $300 into $2012 in about 5 hours.

They are trying to keep the PG County riffraff out and they're doing ok at that so far.
