Tribal Gaming in New England

There are three New England tribal casinos somewhere in the process of being built besides Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun:

1. In Massachusetts, the Aquinnah Cliffs Casino is finally under construction.  Built on tribal land on Martha’s Vineyard, it will be a Class II casino.

   

2. First Light Resort, in Taunton, built by the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe. However, it seems hopelessly stuck in litigation with Taunton residents.

   

3. Tribal Winds Casino, a joint venture between the Mohegan & Pequot tribes in CT, has been approved, but has not been started due to numerous gambling considerations, especially sports betting. The plans have been downsized a bit since the impact from MGM Springfield has not reached expectations.

   

• The state with the most poker rooms is New Hampshire with twelve. Many offer other table games and all legal under the Charitable Gaming Law. New Hampshire is also the second New England state to legalize sports betting.
• Most slots? – Mohegan Sun.
• Most Hotel rooms? – Foxwoods.
• Fully non-smoking casinos? – all in Maine and Massachusetts.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, as they say.  Enjoy. Stay Healthy. Keep your “Social Distance” and remember – Washy, washy, washy!
