Competition for the state’s sole slot machine parlor license is intensifying, as two more applicants for casino development rights have decided to pursue the slots-only facility, the state gambling commission said Tuesday.
Corporate entities backed by Chicago casino and real estate tycoon Neil Bluhm and by Maryland casino developer Cordish Co. each applied last month for a license to run a gambling business in Massachusetts, but did not say at the time if they would seek to build a slot parlor or a casino resort.

I don't think any of these developers need to worry. The restrictions won't last long, if this state follows the examples of others that preceded us in the gambling business. There will probably be more than three casinos fairly soon and I'm about as sure as I can be that slot parlors will proliferate.
Gambling grows like mushrooms on a horse farm. Remember when the lottery had only a few games and no scratch cards?
