SPRINGFIELD — As many as four top-tier casino developers have informed Springfield officials that they would like to build a gambling resort in this struggling city on the Connecticut River, a level of interest unmatched in other parts of the state that will force developers into direct competition even before they apply for a state license.
“We’re ground zero, baby,” Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno gushed during an extended interview.

Build a casino? Why? Why not just install a giant suck-tube to vacuum the money right out of these people's pockets? Save too construction costs and get the same results.
Springfield has previously rejected casinos in two separate referendums.
