Major players, including Las Vegas Sands and Harrah's are taking an interest in the bill put forward by Governor Deval Patrick that may lead to the creation of three resort-style casinos in the state of Massachusetts. The CEOs of both organisations attended a one-day, pre-Christmas legislative hearing, and were supportive of the plan - although Sheldon Adelson of Las Vegas Sands made the point that three casinos was too many.
Steve Wynn is also understood to have sent a representative to the hearing.
Governor Patrick said three casinos would generate more than $400 million in tax revenue, $2 billion in economic activity, and create 20,000 permanent jobs.
Will the plans for Russia's 'remote' gaming areas go ahead as the State Duma has described?
