And an East Windsor casino will also take business from the existing Tribal casinos; that have far more gaming, entertainment, golf and other attractions than MGM. A casino closer to Westchester, and several other NY counties; would far exceed the revenues, jobs and taxes, of an East Windsor limited casino. And even though MGM had indicated an interest in a Western CT location, they might not contest, by multiple law suits; if their potential new competition was removed from the Hartford market. Whether in East Windsor or the Western border of NY, a Tribal casino will still need to have land placed "In Trust", by the Federal Government. And looking at the Wampanoag Tribes delays in Taunton, MA; the process has already taken over a year, fighting local law suits; in spite of already having a Compact with the State of Massachusetts.

And another advantage of a Western CT. location, is that the spending to support this resort casino will come from New Yorkers, rather than CT residents. And this casino could be located near I-84, I-95 or the Merritt Parkway; where the closest competing casino is at the Yonkers Racetrack, on very overcrowded highways heading to Manhattan. There are over a million affluent New Yorkers; that would be more convenient to one the these border locations, than any existing or proposed NY casino.

The CT Tribes have suffered a 40 percent drop in slot win; from what I call "the Atlantic City syndrome", as neighboring states have approved or expanded gaming; cutting into visits and revenue at two of Americas premier destination resorts.
