The Bay State's roller coaster casino ride shows no signs of leveling off, with a recount of Palmer's narrow rejection of Mohegan Sun set for today, even as the casino operator says it is moving on in talks with Suffolk Downs as it tries to cobble together a last-minute casino deal in Revere.
On Sunday, Revere Mayor Daniel Rizzo told the Herald an agreement "may be imminent." But yesterday, both Suffolk Downs and Mohegan Sun said they had no agreement to report.
"As we have said before, we have received strong interest in potential partnerships from a number of top-class gaming companies," Chip Tuttle, the track's chief operating officer, said in a statement. "We are aiming to enter an agreement with a new gaming partner soon."
Other casino operators who made failed bids in Massachusetts also could be in the running to replace Caesars Entertainment, which bowed out as Suffolk Downs' partner over concerns about debt and purported mob links.
Yesterday, Scott Butera of Foxwoods, which last week lost a referendum to build a casino in Milford, said: "We're looking for opportunities at this point." But he would not say whether he was talking to Suffolk Downs.
Even if the track cuts a casino deal before the Dec. 31 deadline, its chances of Gaming Commission approval are far from assured. Last week, commission Chairman Stephen Crosby said he wanted to consult with lawyers about the switch to a Revere-only project after voters in East Boston rejected it.
Mayor-elect Martin J. Walsh said in a statement yesterday, "The voters of East Boston said no to a casino, and I respect their stance. It's my responsibility as mayor to ensure that the best interests of Boston residents are protected, and I'll do everything in my power to advocate for Boston during this process."
