The state of Maine could be getting another land-based casino, Gambling911.com has learned.

Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap announced Thursday afternoon that proponents of a new casino in southern Maine have submitted signatures for “An Act to Allow Slot Machines or a Casino in York County.” If enough signatures are verified as registered Maine voters, that means Mainers could vote on the issue during a statewide referendum in 2017. A similar bid to put the question on a ballot failed earlier this year after Dunlap ruled more than half of 91,000 signatures submitted were found to be invalid.

The state currently has two casinos: Oxford Casino in the town of Oxford and Hollywood Casino Hotel & Raceway Bangor in the state’s third most populous city, Bangor.
