Gaming mogul Steve
Wynn suddenly withdrew his bid to take over the proposed Foxwoods Casino
Philadelphia in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
Wynn sought majority control of the project from the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal
Nation of Connecticut. But he said he "terminated all agreements and negotiations," a move that could spell he end of the embattled casino.
The tribe and a group of investors won a license from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control
Board to operate the slot machine facility. But the board has grown impatient with delays associated with the project.
Meanwhile, the tribe has faced economic and financial troubles in Connecticut. A tribal executive declined to comment on the latest development.
