BOSTON (AP) — State gambling regulators are set to begin deliberations on awarding the lucrative Boston-area casino license.
The choices are down to Mohegan Sun’s $1.3 billion resort plan for the Suffolk Downs horse racing track in Revere, and Wynn Resort’s $1.6 billion waterfront casino on the site of a former chemical plant in Everett.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission will hold the first meeting Monday at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
The meetings, which will be streamed online at www.massgaming.com, are expected to run at least through Friday, when the commission may award the license.
During the deliberations, the commission will release findings from its months-long evaluations of the projects.
