The Massachusetts House of Representatives has approved a legislative proposal to install historical horse racing (HHR) machines at Raynham Park and Suffolk Downs. The measure requires further negotiation with the Senate before it can be enacted.
Legislative Details and Opposition
The House included this provision in its current legislative agenda. The plan specifically targets the installation of HHR equipment at the two racing venues.
The proposal faces resistance from established gaming interests. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and backers of First Light Casino have voiced opposition to the new expansion. The final outcome depends on the Senate's review of the House's decision.
