First Light "A Native Casino" — Local services in Taunton

I appreciate what the tribe is trying to accomplish and the aesthetic of the amplified weekends what I do not appreciate is the fact that after going to one of the amplified weekends with my mentally diminished little brother they have been following my wife and I around and tonight we had an FBI agent harassing us for those that aren't familiar with it is tribal land so it falls under Federal jurisdiction so the mashpee wampanoag police can detain you but they also have the FBI there and I don't appreciate the agent harassing me and my wife while we were trying to get a couple of tumbler cups and then as soon as I said something to him about him being a federal agent he acted very strange I wouldn't have realized he was a federal agent except for the fact he said he remembered me from being there before because of my tattoos and he remembered the exact shirt I had on with every minor detail which only a federal agent is going to remember that and come up to you and try to randomly start a conversation fishing for information I do not appreciate this fact and now I feel uncomfortable going there to even enjoy a free eventI find it very unfair that the security and an FBI agent singled me out when my wife and I are weekly customers regular patrons that have spent hundreds of dollars at a time inside the casino easily and this is how we get treated I have respect for the tribe but I have no respect for the treatment my wife and I are being given when we go there there's a couple young security guards that are nothing but nice to us but it's everybody else following us around and the FBI agent badgering us tonight that really make us not want to come back ever again technically that is discrimination and profiling I would understand if we had done something wrong if we had made a scene if we didn't pick up after a mess and if we weren't spending money in the casino but we've done none of those things and we always spend money I guess they won't be getting our...

I mean just straight up I dislike this place on principle alone. Set up in the middle of a warehouse district, where underpaid workers with a disproportionately high propensity to gamble will lose their paychecks; the name sounds like a damn church; it's across the street from a school; and right off the highway. Hell, a gas station would have served the community better than this.

I get casinos are predatory by nature, but damn this is just egregious. Not to mention the tribal police force will harass anyone that even drives on the road without entering the casino. Need to pull over real quick to find an address and set your GPS? Expect a knock on your window and an order to vacate the tribal land almost immediately. They spent years ignoring the illegal dumping here, but now threaten you with a fine if you "loiter" for any more than 3 minutes.

Edit: You can say whatever you want, but at the end of the day, the casino was constructed across from a school for a reason. The casino was constructed in the middle of an area with low-income workers for a reason. The casino was constructed right off the highway for a reason. There's no getting around that. And any new business brings new jobs, that's not something special only casinos do. You guys could've put up a sports bar and made all the same claims of benefiting the community, but I'm sure you're all very proud of your community of gamblers; and more importantly the money...

I got $30 dollars free slotplay because I combined with getting $15 dollars each free for first time visitors just keep in mind that once you put the $15 dollars in you are stuck on that machine but I got all my promo money in one machine it was a quarter machine pretty good luck didn't mind it was stuck in there!!!I walked out with $50 bucks for free because you can cash back out the money it is weird casino looks like 3 trailers put together neednless to say i probably wouldnt return too much live in Boston and usually go to encore they have free slotplay a few times a month. Only gamble with promos. They do have a nice outdoor concert area for free shows but that's probably all I would pretty much do. Once you do get the free slotplay through the website it's a one time deal don't think you can go there a bunch of times for free money. Needless to say it was a good experience with free play not a lot of cheap machines mostly $50 cents and up with a free quarter machines will return if there is any free promotions in the future good...
