MGM Resorts International is interested in developing a location in Connecticut. The company is working towards a Massachusetts location. However the company believes there are several options for an additional location in Connecticut that would be 50 miles away from the Springfield location.

In the 1990's Bridgeport was a potential candidate for a casino. Two local tribes have also recently stated that the city would be an ideal location for their proposed joint casino venture. On Tuesday, MGM filed papers stating that the city would also be of interest to the company for their proposed casino.

Recently a law had gone into effect that created a multi-step process for tribes that are interested in developing a casino. MGM believes that the law is unconstitutional. The new law is preventing MGM from proceeding with their plans.

MGM is not allowed to develop another casino within 50 miles of Springfield under Massachusetts gaming law.
