The concrete foundation for the slots building at the Plainridge Park Casino has been poured, the parking garage is nearly complete, and the construction is moving ahead in Plainville, Massachusetts, despite Tuesday's Supreme Judicial Court ruling.

Steve O'Toole, Plainridge's General Manager, is calling the decision just another "setback."

Massachusetts voters will now decide in November whether they want to repeal the law which allows the state to award three casino licenses and one slot parlor license.

Penn National Gaming secured the state's sole slot parlor at Plainridge, which is the state's last harness racing track. O'Toole says 140 jobs at the track are in jeopardy if the slots don't go in.

"The racing will not survive without the expanded gaming," said O'Toole.

Joe Fernandes, Plainville town administrator, also voiced his disappointment with the ruling on NECN's Broadside. He was asked if Penn National will sink more cash into a possible heated referendum campaign.

"It's frankly been understood. They've invested $225 million in Plainville, and they've already paid $25 million for a license," he said.

So for now, construction will move ahead in Plainville.

O'Toole believes ultimately voters will side in their favor, saying, "Just the main thing is that we need to get the message out there to Massachusetts that this is about revenue, this is about jobs."

Depending on how things go in November, Plainville hopes to have the slots building complete by April and the machines installed shortly after.
