According to market analysts, operating in Massachusetts, the experts who allowed Steve Wynn win the license for establishing a new casino in Everett, have deliberately done that with the aim of disobeying the state law, implemented three years ago.
The foundation of the new casino brought both – positive and negative comments so the statement that Wynn’s project met only fierce opposition should be regarded as premature. Yet, those who dislike the idea of having a casino in the area of Boston will most probably defend their standpoint and give their negative vote at the beginning of November.
According to the latest surveys, 55% of all members of the local communities would vote positively mainly due to the fact that Wynn’s company promised a lot of job opportunities.
If the so called “Question 3” passes on November 4th , this means that Wynn will be free to start his project on the territory of Massachusetts.
Those who are totally against the establishment of the new casino, had no hesitations in defining Wynn’s plan as “flawed”.
One of the biggest concerns was the survival of Suffolk Downs, which is the only operating horse racing faculty in the region. Pretty soon after the announcement that the license was given to Wynn Resorts, the operators had confirmed that the faculty will be closed.
Understandably, such an unpleasant event created a negative attitude within the local communities, which might result in a higher percentage of “No” votes but everything should be taken with a grind of salt and the different predictions should not be taken for granted.
Up to now, the state’s authorities have given their permission to three Massachusetts based casinos operate within the state and Wynn’s casino might be the forth one.
Meanwhile, MGM Resorts International, the company that is supposed to build a new casino in Springfield, is waiting to see what the outcome of the upcoming election will be before taking any building actions.
Unlike MGM Resorts International, Penn National Gaming has already started the building procedures in Plainville.
However, it became clear that the local gambling providers are not keen on having Steve Wynn’s casino in their region. Actually, they are donating money for supporting a coalition that is against the acceptance of Question 3.
The State’s Gaming Commission announced that all the necessary actions, towards preventing the horse racing faculty from closure, will be taken.
There is not a gambling provider who would deny that building a casino in the Boston area can be a really lucrative investment due to the fact that Boston remained one of the few areas where casinos are not widespread.
Bearing the current situation in mind, Steve Wynn’s company has to wait until the beginning of November and see the result of the referendum.
According to the initial plan, the new casino was supposed to host its first players in 2017 but that’s not likely to happen because of paperwork setbacks.
In case Wynn’s project for a spacious hotel and impressive casino floor is not accepted, another project will be proposed. For now, the traffic jam is considered to be the main issue the local people will face up to once the casino is opened.
