Here's some news from the region's casino scene:

* The town council in Palmer, Mass., has encouraged the Legislature in the commonwealth to act on Gov. Deval Patrick's bill to license three resort casinos in the commonwealth. Palmer, just north of the Connecticut border on Route 32 and along the Massachusetts Turnpike, is being considered by the Mohegans for a casino-resort development.

* Slots strike again at Mohegan Sun. A college student from Somerville, Mass., won $3.5 million Sunday at a Wheel of Fortune Megajackpot machine. She's the third gambler this month to hit the jackpot and the second to win a multi-million-dollar prize.
