Massachusetts bringing their resodent casino play, and jobs and taxes, back
home. A $140 million small slot casino will take some play from the future MGM,
but before that it will steal play from the Mohegan and Foxwood casinos, less
that an hours drive away. Greater Hartford has the largest metropolitan
population near the two Tribal casinos, and any gaming there will have a further
negative impact on existing jobs and State revenues. Better to look to the West,
where New York has substantial population, that is closer to he CT State line
than to Yonkers slot machines or any newly approved casino locations. This
location will produce the maximum State revenues, jobs and attract the most new
tourism.
