City of Boston files amended lawsuit against Gaming Commission

BOSTON, Massachusetts -- The City of Boston has filed an amended complaint against the Massachusetts Gaming Commission requesting the Court nullify all decisions made by the Commission leading to and resulting in its award of a
casino gaming license to Wynn Resorts.

The lawsuit alleges there was "a corrupt process to favor Wynn, which deprived the citizens of Boston of their statutory right to vote on the proposed casino development and caused additional grave harm to the City’s
residents.

The City of Boston also wants the Commission’s regulations regarding the arbitration of surrounding community
agreements declared invalid and all Commissioners disqualified from participating in the gaming licensing process for Region A.

The City claims in the lawsuit paperwork that Commissioners manipulated the gaming licensing process in four ways:

(1) refusing to enforce mandatory provisions of the Expanded Gaming Act,
(2) committing unauthorized acts outside the scope of their statutory authority,
(3) violating the ethical provisions of the Expanded Gaming Act,
(4) adopting and implementing illegal regulations.
