\"Connecticut\"The Connecticut House of Representatives recently approved legislation that would allow for new casino proposals to be submitted. The final vote saw it go down as 77 to 73 in favour of the bill<\/a> and this narrow margin was enough for the bill to go through.<\/p>\n

This bill will ask casino operators who are applying for a license to invest at least $500 million into the project<\/strong> and also requires them to create a minimum of 2,000 employment opportunities. <\/p>\n

Applying for a casino license will not come cheap as the bill will require operators to shell out a one-time $50 million licensing fee<\/strong>. An additional $5 million fee is added for processing<\/strong>, but this will be refunded if the application is rejected. <\/p>\n

The bill now heads to the Connecticut Senate for review and approval. The progress of this new bill is a big step forward for MGM Resorts International's attempt to build a facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut. However, there is still a long way ahead for the bill to be signed into approval and MGM Resorts will have to wait patiently to see how things turn out.<\/p>\n
