A Milford developer says he hasn't folded his hand and is still planning to ante up to challenge Suffolk Downs for the Boston area's sole casino license.
David Nunes told the Herald that he is still working with Warner Gaming and is planning to seek a full casino license for a proposed resort in Milford. While Nunes said he is still in the game, he will not be among the hopeful casino developers attending a meeting Monday in Framingham with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and consultants. The gaming board and its consultants are planning to lay out the complex application process Monday and will be meeting individually next week with developers to explain the extensive background check process, among other issues.
Nunes would not comment on a published report that said he is slated to make a formal proposal to the town of Milford by the end of the year. He did, however, confirm he's going forward but would not discuss the details.
"I am mum on my plans," Nunes said via email. "Time will tell the story."
While gaming officials have lamented that no one has stepped forward to challenge Suffolk Downs for the Boston license, Nunes has long claimed he is dedicated to getting a casino built in the Metrowest town.
His partner, Warner Gaming, manages the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas and operates several other gaming facilities across the country, including tribal casinos in New Mexico and Spokane, Wash. The company's website lists Crossroads Resort as a current client. A Warner spokesperson did not return calls.
Gaming commissioners went so far as to pursue Wall Street investors in hopes of drumming up interest in the Boston license, pointing to western Massachusetts, where no less than four proposals are in the works. Ameristar, MGM and Penn National have each launched plans for casinos in Springfield that range from $700 million to nearly $1 billion, while Mohegan Sun is planning a massive resort for Palmer. Raynham Park and Plainridge Racecourse in Plainville are both expected to seek the state's sole slot parlor license while the Wampanoag Tribe is planning a Taunton casino.
