The Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe of Massachusetts will scale back its casino plans if only allowed to engage in Class II gaming, The Cape Cod Times reports.
The tribe wants to build a casino, hotel, events center and retail complex on 539 acres in the town of Middleboro. But the hotel and possibly the events center will be out of the picture under a Class II scenario, according to a draft environmental impact statement of the land-into-trust application.
Massachusetts does not allow full-scale Class III gaming at this time. Efforts to legalize casinos failed in the last two years.
The tribe expects an answer on its casino early next year.
