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.

A plan for a third casino in Connecticut that would have made sense for all parties was on the table and apparently had support at the highest levels. Then it all fell apart. It’s as apt a stand-in for state politics in 2019 as is likely to be found. 2020 is an election year, and that could influence support for a third casino, as well as sports betting. All 36 seats of the Connecticut State Senate will be up for vote, as will the 151 seats in.
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.
*They formed a joint venture in 2017 called MMCT to build a third casino in East Windsor, which they have named Tribal Winds Casino. The state agreed to the joint venture, but the Department of.
*Connecticut is the third-smallest state in terms of land area, and when it comes to potential suitors for its third casino, its options are also very small. That’s because the state will have a hard time justifying taking bids from other gaming entities other than the two tribes due to their compacts.
*Connecticut Does Not Need A Third Casino March 3, 2004 Connecticut does not need a third casino, and especially does not need to be forced into a position of struggling to resolve the significant financial, social and transportation problems that opening a third casino would bring.
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. 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.
As one of only two towns remaining to be chosen as a site for a third casino in Connecticut, East Windsor is hoping they will be the chosen one.
When a casino is built from scratch, it brings about a great deal of revenue to an area. A casino project is usually a massive scale, meaning it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to create. Such projects brings jobs to the chosen area as well as the potential for increased revenues via tourism. For most people, a gaming venue coming to the local area is a win/win. East Windsor is one of just two areas in the running to be the site of a third casino for the state of Connecticut and the city hopes they will be the winner.Pick Me! Pick Me!
Officials of East Windsor are open to the potential that a new casino venue can bring. Officials know that a new casino in the state will be a big deal and there will be job as well as revenue opportunity. First Selectman of East Windsor, Bob Maynard, stated that the area is open to tax revenue and jobs. He considers the casino to be more of an entertainment facility instead of a casino.
The site that is currently being considered in East Windsor is where the Showcase Cinema is, a now vacant movie theater. There is also a vacant retail store being considered that was once home to Walmart. A new gaming venue would need to be strategically placed to attract customers as well as in an area large enough to house the facility as well as parking and all the extras that go along with the plans.
The site is actually close to Interstate 91 and is close as it can be to the heart of East Windsor. Maynard stated that the town prides themselves on the rural charm of the area but they also know the value of the gaming venue’s potential. Kevin “Red Eagle” Brown is the Chairman of the Mohegan Tribal Council, a group behind the casino proposal, who said that they are hearing many positives about Windsor Locks too, the second area being considered.Third Casino In Connecticut New YorkRecognition
According to Brown, the towns are now recognizing what they can receive from a gaming venue being placed in their area. The Mohegan Tribe and the Mashantucket Pequot have been working together to find a spot for the casino for more than a year now. It has been two years since the tribes have been trying to create a third casino in the state. The tribes would be running the new venue together outside of reservation lands as a commercial venture.Third Casino In Connecticut
Brown stated that people are realizing that tax dollars, jobs, improvements to services and more in the local community will take place if the venue is placed in their town. There are many good things to come and both communities want to be a part of it.
Next week, the chairmen of both tribes will be meeting with residents of East Windsor in a town hall setting to discuss any questions the townspeople may have about the casino development. According to Maynard, he believes that the East Windsor elected leaders are in favor of a gaming venue and that land is ready to be developed with little intervention by the local government. The property has to be zoned correctly and if so, a business can build as it sees fit.Third Casino In Connecticut 2020
The plans still have a way to go and the tribes have seen contention from several groups, including MGM Resorts. MGM feels that the tribes are not being open with the process of selection as they should be. Though the tribes say that there is nothing to report.
