Maine rejects Indian casino proposal

April 10, 2018

A proposed casino project by the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians has been rejected by the Maine House of Representatives. The lawmakers voted 73 to 67 against the proposed plan.

Democratic lawmakers provided 53 of the 67 votes in favor of the casino.

Rep. Henry John Bear is a non-voting member for the tribe and introduced House Order 58. He had asked the state's Supreme Judicial Court official opinion for tribal gaming.

There are currently four federally recognized tribes in Maine. As of now, there is no law in the state that allows for Native American tribes to operate table games or slot machines on their reservation land.

Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, tribes with federal recognition are allowed to operate bingo, pull tabs, and punch boards games. These types of games fall under the Class I and Class II gaming license. Las Vegas style gaming is not allowed unless there is approval from the state.

The Houlton Band wish to build a casino in order to provide better economic opportunities for the tribe.

Last year a bill was introduced by Sen. Benjamin Collings from Portland. The bill would have allowed for the creation of gaming compacts between the tribes and the state. The Native American owned casinos would have the opportunity to operate both table games and up to 1,500 slot machines.

However, the bill did not receive the needed support to progress on. As of now it is at a stand still.

This may be due to the casino opposition by residents. Last year a casino was proposed for York County. Less than 17 percent of voters gave approval. Overall residents in Maine do not approve casino projects. Constituents have made their concerns known to state lawmakers.

There are two casinos in Maine. They are Oxford Casino and Hollywood Casino Bangor. Table games are taxed at 16 percent at both casinos. The tax rate on slot machines is 46 percent at Oxford and 39 percent at Hollywood.

Last year Oxford paid over $34.4 million in taxes to the state. Hollywood paid $16 million in taxes.
