A Maine Indian tribe is coming out against a November referendum asking voters if they want a casino in western Maine.

Tribal Gov. William Nicholas said the Passamaquoddy will join with Bangor City Council and Penn National Gaming, the parent company of Hollywood Slots Hotel and Raceway in Bangor in opposition to the initiative that would allow a casino in Oxford County.

According to the tribe, the state’s plan is overly restrictive, and allows for monopolization of future gambling projects.

Nicholas said the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township fully support the expansion of table games at Hollywood Slots in Bangor, Maine, however he said this initiative as written prohibits any one else from building a casino that would compete with the Oxford site.

He said the tribe will be working with the harness racing industry, Penn National Gaming and Scarborough Downs to ensure that any future expansion of gaming in Maine includes the tribes and harness racing.
