Connecticut’s two tribal gaming operators have selected East Windsor as the site of their proposed joint venture casino operation.

On Monday, the MMCT joint venture of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes announced that it will build its new $300m casino in East Windsor, a town of around 11k souls in Hartford County on the state’s northern border with Massachusetts.

On Saturday, East Windsor’s Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the tribes’ setting up shop in their backyard. MMCT has agreed to pay the town $3m upfront, plus an additional $3m per year on top of regular tax payments, which are expected to total $5.5m per year.

In addition, MMCT has agreed to hire at least 4% of its workforce from East Windsor, while at least 15% of casino staff must live within a 25-mile radius of the venue.
