	The Pawtucket Times - News - 12/14/2004 - Mass. slots would cost R.I. $100M (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		"Massachusetts slots will spur intense competition for the region’s convenience gaming dollars that are now monopolized by Lincoln Park and Newport Grand," said Clyde Barrow, director of the Center for Policy Analysis (CPA) at UMass Dartmouth.
		If Massachusetts does go ahead with its gambling plans, Dufault said, "the loss will be almost immediate." He said it only takes about 90 days to install slot machines at a race track once the go-ahead is given.
		The solution, suggests Senate President Joseph Montalbano, is a long-term contract between the state and Lincoln Park to ensure a revenue stream to the park that will "enable them to make a major investment in infrastructure" to upgrade and enlarge the facility.

	Las Vegas SUN: MGM MIRAGE buying track, slot firm for $490 million

	UMD Press Release Article - Press Releases - University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
		âMassachusetts slots will spur intense competition for the regionâs convenience gaming dollars that are now monopolized by Lincoln Park and Newport Grand,â Barrow said.
		Massachusetts slots could soon approach or exceed a $300 wpm per day, but to do that, Barrow said, "Massachusetts convenience gaming would need to mature, require increased marketing, and need to capture some of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun's Massachusetts patrons." The latter, Barrow added, "may not be so easily achieved."
		Despite Lincoln Park and Newport Grandâs decade-long convenience gaming monopoly and revenue success, neither Rhode Island facility has been able to intercept the $829 million that Massachusetts residents spend annually at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, nor have they been about to recapture the $300 million that Rhode Islanders spend at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.
