BOSTON (CBS/AP) – The Massachusetts state gaming commission formally voted Tuesday to award the eastern Massachusetts casino license to Wynn Resorts for its plan in Everett. Three of the four.

Massachusetts adopted a new casino law in November 2011 which authorizes the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) to license 3 regional casinos and one slots parlor.

The law developed from a casino proposal first made in 2007 by Governor Deval Patrick. His original plan and the years of debates leading to passage of the Massachusetts casino bill are chronicled in news articles below.
