Passamaquoddy Tribe reaches deal over gaming ballot

Thursday, March 18, 2010
Filed Under: Legislation

The Passamaquoddy Tribe of Maine reached a tentative agreement with two gaming companies over a initiative on the November ballot.

The proposal would authorize slot machines and table games for tribes in Washington County, a resort casino for Black Bear Entertainment in Oxford County and table games at Hollywood Slots Hotel and Raceway, owned by Penn National Gaming.

The deal averts a competing ballot measure that the Penobscot Nation, the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point and the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township wanted to place on the ballot against Black Bear's proposal.

The new ballot question requires approval by the Maine Legislature.
