The Mashantucket Pequot and the Mohegans, which created the joint venture MMCT, can now “move forward with construction on Tribal Winds Casino” along I-91, Rodney Butler, chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot, said Thursday.įirst discussed publicly in 2014, the joint venture was originally supposed to open before MGM Resorts opened its casino in Springfield, Massachusetts, last August, in the hopes of blunting competition from the newcomer.
Connecticut’s two federally recognized tribes have received long-awaited approval from the federal government to push ahead with plans for an off-reservation casino in East Windsor.
