If the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) determines that Wynn Resorts isn’t worthy to hold a casino license in the state, Suffolk Downs won’t look to take over. The company has stated that it now has no desire to operate a casino in the Boston area, but is still moving forward with a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against Wynn and the MGC over the bidding process that ultimately awarded the license to Wynn.

Suffolk Downs was one of several companies that bid on the license for a casino in Boston. It has asserted that Wynn was given the license through back-alley strategic manipulation and tactics; in other words, it cheated.

The lawsuit, which seeks $3 billion in damages, has left Suffolk Downs with a bad taste in its mouth for Boston and the company’s CEO, Chip Tuttle, told the Boston Herald this past Monday that Suffolk has no desire to operate in the city. He added, “That ship has sailed.”

The MGC is still determining if Wynn should be able to operate the Encore Boston Harbor, which is close to having its construction completed. It was given a report last Friday that was completed by its Investigators and Enforcement Bureau following a year-long investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment against Wynn’s founder and former CEO, Steve Wynn.
