East Windsor Ct Casino Update
East Windsor is one step closer to having a casino after the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes selected the town as the site of a possible third gaming facility in Connecticut.
This hour, we ask, how will this plan transform East Windsor and the region?
- Brian Hallenbeck After a Zoom meeting with state and local officials representing East Windsor, the chairmen of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes announced Wednesday they will continue delaying development of the state’s third casino in the north-central Connecticut town, a project the state authorized in 2017.

Dec 10, 2020 The Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes are now dropping their plans temporarily to build an East Windsor casino, which is what Gov. Ned Lamont wanted as part of a broader solution on sports betting and gambling issues across the state.
The town’s Board of Selectmen fully support the project-voting unanimously in favor. First Selectman Robert Maynard joins us and we hear from an East Windsor resident who believes a casino will be bad news for the town’s future.
Do you think a third Connecticut casino will usher in the promise of jobs and sustained growth? Or will it be detrimental to local communities?
