Looks like the little town of Plainville has jumped out ahead of the pack. A town just north of North Attleboro, (I never heard of it until now) with a population just over 8,000 souls will in all probability host a slots parlor at its rather modest, until now, harness racing track. There is nothing modest, though, about the planned facility.
“Plans include a 106,000 sq.ft. addition, renovation of the existing facility to include a Doug Flutie’s Sports Pub, intimate entertainment venue, upscale dining, four-venue food court and 1,250 of the hottest slot machines!” (From their website.)
The question in my mind is, how will this affect the Tribe’s plans for a resort casino just a few miles away in Taunton? The Plainville site is right off route 495, and would appear to have better access from the north and the Providence area. Also looks like they are ready to hit the ground running, and have already started preliminary construction work. 
And to think: they never had to pay Bill Delahunt a single penny!
