Wynn ramps up campaign vs. Revere slots parlor

Casino mogul Steve Wynn is flooding the state of Massachusetts with money to keep slots parlor at bay.

The Boston Globe reported that Wynn is now on a spending spree in order to ensure that the residents of the Bay State will say no to slots when they troop and cast their votes on Question 1 on Nov. 8.

Wynn had been campaigning against the slots parlor since September, which he claimed to be going against the 2011 casino law that called for a single slots parlor in Massachusetts. This is the first time that the casino mogul has expressed its intention to finance an opposition to a statewide ballot question that would authorize the slots parlor, known as Question 1.

But Wynn won’t say how much it plans to spend. And under the state’s political finance laws, Wynn won’t be required to disclose its spending until after the Nov. 8 balloting.
