Worcester site picked as possible slots spot

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - The developers of a proposed slots parlor in Worcester have announced the site on which they hope to build.

Mass Gaming & Entertainment LLC announced Sunday that if awarded the state's only slots license they plan to build a $200 million "destination gaming facility" at the 14-acre Wyman-Gordon industrial property.

The property has been vacant for nearly a dozen years. The company made metal parts and products there for more than 100 years.

City Manager Michael O'Brien called MGE's formal selection of the site an important first step. He says the next steps are local discussions and a formal review of the proposal.

Chairman Neil Bluhm tells The Telegram & Gazette his group, a subsidiary of Rush Street Gaming, has spent more than a year looking for the right location.
