The state passed a law last year that provides for up to three casinos and one slots-only license. Each casino license is designated for one area of the state: Greater Boston, Western Massachusetts and Southern Massachusetts. The license in Southeastern Massachusetts also provides special consideration for a tribal gambling facility. The law also created a gaming commission to control the granting of the licenses and create regulations to oversee the industry. Jan. 15 is the deadline for potential casino developers to submit their proposals, along with a required $400,000 application fee.
