Massachusetts regulator shelves $677M Brockton casino talks – for now

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has put talks on the proposed $700 million casino in Brockton, Massachusetts on hold as the state prepares for the opening of MGM Springfield.

Mass Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) recently asked the MGC to take a second look at the casino proposal that was rejected two years ago, according to MassLive.com.

In 2016, the MGC voted against awarding MGE a resort casino license, citing market saturation concerns.

This time around, MGG Chairman Stephen Crosby deferred the review on the Brockton casino proposal simply because the regulator is too busy to tackle the issue.
