Mass. Gaming Panel to Meet for 2nd Time

Mass. Gaming Panel to Meet for 2nd Time

BOSTON (AP) — The state panel appointed to oversee casino gambling in Massachusetts continues to lay the groundwork for future operations.

The Gaming Commission is scheduled to hold its second public meeting on Tuesday. The agenda for the meeting includes personnel issues and an update on negotiations with two outside consultants.

The commission voted at its initial meeting last week to seek agreements with Spectrum Gaming Group and the law firm of Michael & Carroll for advice in establishing casino regulations and law enforcement procedures. Both firms are based in New Jersey.

The panel is also scheduled to discuss a process for providing information to communities that may host or are located near a potential casino.

The new state gaming law allows up to three destination casinos and one slots parlor in Massachusetts
