Springfield Blocks MGM’s Attempt to Sell Massachusetts Casino Resort

MGM Resorts International’s legal battle with Springfield, Massachusetts, escalated this week as the city asked a Hampden County Superior Court judge to force the parties’ confidential arbitration proceedings into open court. The gaming company remains at odds with Springfield over plans to sell its operating rights to the regional casino, with city leaders asserting MGM has failed to fulfill contractual obligations established prior to the venue’s August 2018 opening. Under the terms of the host community agreement , municipal officials maintain approval authority over any transfer of operating rights.
