The Massachusetts Senate this afternoon approved casino gambling, bolstering the likelihood that slot machines and full-scale table games will be coming to the Commonwealth.
The bill, which passed 24-14, included a rare vote from Senate President Therese Murray who cast her “yes” in a roll call vote just after 4 p.m.
The plan would authorize three “resort” casinos and one slots-only gambling parlor in Massachusetts. The House passed a similar version of the bill last month. Now the measure goes to a joint House-Senate conference committee where lawmakers will reconcile the differences that now exist in the two versions.
Once a final proposal has been ironed out, the legislation will head to Governor Deval Patrick’s desk for his signature. Patrick has indicated initial support for the plan.
Beacon Hill lawmakers have proposed legalizing casinos sporadically for decades. The support grew more substantial over the past two years, due to stubbornly high unemployment and a new consensus of a governor and two legislative chiefs who favor the idea.
Last year, a similar bill passed the House and the Senate before a disagreement with Patrick over the size and type of the facilities derailed it. Lawmakers who support the idea say the state is desperate for jobs and a new stream of tax money. |

Neither do I, but it's a smart move for generating revenue for the state. NH should do the same. |
|
|
and you're not in MA. YOUR NAME IS THE REVEREND, NOT THE RELEVANCE. |
|
|
Have fun living free or dying, NH fuckers! |
|
|
I live in MA, and I don't gamble, but I'm all for this.
STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, YOU HEATHENS |
|
|
You can't even marry your cousin in NH. So much for freedom. |
|
|
I like this idea and hope it helps the economy, we all need it. Also, with the good comes the bad, more fat people and more parents gambling their savings and gone for weekends maybe and not coming home. Drinking and drugs and even prostitutes. hey, it is a all win for everyone. Good job Mass! |
|
|
the Deval himself just signed the bill. Casinos are now legal in MA! Let the wretched hives of scum and villainy commence... |
|
|
I HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF TRYING TO GET A JOB IN ONE OF THESE CASINOS. I'VE SEEN "LAS VEGAS" - THESE PLACES ARE FULL OF HUGE BOOBS AND SONNY CORLEONE. I'M IN.
|
|
|
So what are the probable locations? They proposed one in my town a few years ago. It was supposed to be the biggest one in the country. I think it fell through, though. |
|
|
LIKELY SAME SITES. I HEARD THE INDIANS FROM FOXWOODS WILL BE RUNNING THE JOINT IN MIDDLEBORO UP BY KOA PLACE. I SMELL GOOD CONCERTS IN MIDDLBORO! IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK. ALWAYS SEEING GOOD SHOWS AT CASINOS THAT IM TOO LAZY TO DRIVE TO. |
|
|
One I kept on hearing was Suffolk Downs, which is on the Revere/East Boston line for those that don't know
That will be a traffic nightmare, but again, it will bring tons of money into the state, so I'll deal with it |

WILL NOT BE A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE. THESE PEOPLE DON'T FUCK AROUND. IF FLOATING YOU IN ON A BUTTERED CLOUD DRIVEN BY MAGIC FRIED CHICKEN WINGS WILL GET YOU INTO THEIR CASINOS FASTER AND EASIER, THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO DO IT.
THEY WILL BUILD ROADS, EXITS, IT'LL BE LIKE AN ENTIRE NEW TOWN SPRANG UP OVERNIGHT. |
|
|
Suffolk Downs is also a prime spot because development is cheap and it's close to the airport. |
|
|
Koa in Middleboro is a stones throw away.. Nooooooooo |
|
|
This is all part of my prophecy for the dwindling of the state. And in the end, we will have a metal-themed bar. |
|
|
STOP YELLING AT ME DAD!!! |
|
|
I prefer wooden-themed bars. |
|
|
|
| STOP YELLING AT ME DAD!!! |
HOW THE HELL CAN I PARODY INFOTERROR/NIGGER/CONSERVATIONIST IF I DON'T YELL.
YOU'RE KILLING ME, SMALLS. |
|
|

|
|
I know man. I drive by it all the time. Shame, really. Beautiful area. |
|
|
I KNOW. WHAT THE FUCK WOULD A BUNCH OF FUCKING INDIANS KNOW ABOUT TAKING CARE OF BEAUTIFUL LAND. THIS WILL CLEARLY BE A DISASTER.

one of my co-workers said that Milford is being considered. only turning a dirty shit city into a dirtier shittier city is real. |
|
|
Milford is a dirty shit city? Ok, I wont move there. |
|
|
If were going on the basis of dirty ass places then Fitchburg gets my vote. |

Indeed, I've always considered it the Brockton of central Mass. |

all it would need is a fair for someone to get raped at every year and it 100% would be. |

yeah dude stay far away from Milford. that is unless you like heroin and STD's. |
|
|
Milford is beyond fucking harmless, as scum/villainy hives go. (At least since they closed the Skate Palace and the roving zombie hordes of cough-syrup-fueled teenagers had to move on.) Don't get me wrong, it sucks, it's just small-time shitty. |
