Two casino giants battling for the sole gaming license in eastern Massachusetts each took another step forward yesterday, days before the deadline to submit their final applications to the state Gaming Commission.
Wynn Resorts received a positive suitability determination from the Gaming Commission, and Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs announced a Revere vote to be held in late February.
Both Wynn and Mohegan Sun are ready to roll the dice on their final applications to secure the lucrative casino license, said Boston College gaming expert Richard McGowan.
"They are focused on themselves and trying to present the best picture that they can for the commission," McGowan said.
McGowan said Wynn has the edge right now because they've faced fewer bumps in the road to submitting an application. Suffolk Downs saw its initial partnership with Caesars Entertainment fall apart, and redesigned its proposal after East Boston voters rejected the casino in November.
"Wynn certainly seems like he's in better position right now, but I wouldn't say he's in the driver's seat," McGowan said.
Suffolk Downs and Mohegan Sun, who were granted a waiver to hold a vote in Revere after Tuesday's application deadline, said it will be held Feb. 25.
"I am excited to begin this public outreach process to discuss this very important and exciting opportunity for Revere," Mayor Daniel Rizzo said.
For Wynn, the suitability determination was the last obstacle to submitting its application.
"We are certainly pleased with the decision of the commission and look forward to submitting our application next week," said Wynn spokesman Michael Weaver.
