Maybe this is old news but east coast is starting to look like a gaming paradise, save the long drives to and from and the shitty games in AC

Sweet. Now if they only opened up casinos near the NYC metro area, my head would explode.

Don't you already have a few pa casinos and one in the works for maybe long island? More is always better tho....

I have a handful within easy striking range (1 hr or less), and a handful more that are a bit out of the way (2 hrs or so). NYC area would put more within striking range, and better mass transit. LI with all the bridge, tolls and crappy roads might as well be on the other side of the planet.

Mohegan Sun already has a 50 year lease on 152 acres of land in Palmer Ma. right off the turnpike. There is a option to renew for another 49 years. They've had an office in town for the last 2 years and have been sponsoring barbeques and doing other things for the town out of the goodness of their hearts.

A casino or two at the Meadowlands would great. They can put it right next to Jets Stadium

If this story is accurate, one of the best things about the MA casinos is that they will be smoke free: http://aarontodd.casinocitytimes.com...sino-law-60352.

Number 2 in the article says that Foxwoods dealers keep their own tips. That's news to me unless they are talking about poker.

The tolls are all in New York City itself.The only toll bridge in Nassau or Suffolk is a private bridge leading into Atlantic Beach. The chances of them building a casino in Atlantic Beach are very high, to say the least.
