The New York Times reported on December 17&18, 2014 the following "One of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s signature initiatives, the expansion of gambling in New York, took a major step forward on Wednesday, when a state board recommended the approval of Las Vegas-style resort casinos in the Catskills, near Albany and on the northern end of the Finger Lakes." ... "But New York is entering an intensively competitive gambling industry in the Northeast with lagging returns that some analysts believe is close to saturated. The Gaming Facility Location Board seemed to take that into account by declining to recommend a fourth resort, as allowed by law, in part to give the other three a better chance of success."
The Saturation is growing as reported on WWLP 22 News in Springfield on December 17, 2014 "MGM Springfield is on track to break ground for a resort casino next spring, but by the time MGM opens its doors in Springfield’s south end, there could be a lot more regional competition. On Wednesday, New York’s Gaming Facility Board recommended the state license three casinos.
Closest to Mass. is the Rivers Casino and Resort at Mohawk Harbor in Schenectady, just west of Albany. It’s a $300 million project with more than 1,100 slot machines. Schenectady, New York is about 100 miles west of Springfield. So MGM Springfield will have the Rivers Casino and Resort there, and 100 miles to its east, there will be Wynn Resorts in Everett."

Life In Springfield
The survey results released for "2014’s Best and Worst College Cities & Towns in America” shows that Springfield Massachusetts ranked poorly for its crime rate, low number of students per capita, and low number of nightlife options. These are some of the things MGM already knew. With so few nightlife options in Springfield, MGM knows it has a solid customer base.
Already "Project Furious" & "The Executive Solutions" has started to create options for people such as the December 20th (2014) film festival called "Christmas In Springfield" to give people an option to do something. Previous work has been done on several occasions with the Bing Arts Center.
The recent recent work of the Resurrection Center in Springfield has put forth Christian Values in weekend and night entertainment. Already the Resurrection Center has become a powerhouse on Wednesday nights for Youth enrichment development. Also Wednesday nights, the Resurrection Center works to help resolve life's general problems with classes that also put forth Christian Values into every day life. Both Wednesday night activities are family driven and located at 1597 Allen Street in Springfield, MA
The event on December 20th is approved by FCC regulations and supports the communication goals of EPN News in New York. We can start next year successfully, by ending this year successfully. "Christmas in Springfield" is 12:00 Noon on Saturday, December 20th at the Resurrection Center located at 1597 Allen Street in Springfield.
