BOSTON (AP) — Attorney General Maura Healey’s office says it won’t take any action on a complaint a Mashpee Indian tribe filed against state gambling regulators.
The Wampanoags are seeking to block the planned June 24 opening of the Plainridge Park Casino, a Plainville slot parlor that represents the first gambling facility to open in Massachusetts since lawmakers approved a casino law in 2011.
The tribe, which wants federal approval to open its own resort casino in nearby Taunton, argued in a May letter to Healey that the casino law does not allow slot parlors to offer electronic versions of table games like blackjack and roulette.
It says the regulators violated a compact reached with the tribe on its casino plans when it allowed Plainridge to offer the gambling machines.
