The state gaming commission could take another step toward allowing Revere residents to vote on a revised casino proposal.

The panel on Thursday is scheduled to discuss Mohegan Sun’s request for a waiver from a rule that requires casino applicants to submit certified referendum results by Dec. 31. Commissioners voted last week to allow Mohegan Sun to seek a waiver, keeping alive a plan to build a Revere-only casino on land owned by the Suffolk Downs racetrack.

The proposal emerged after voters in East Boston rejected a plan from Suffolk Downs for a casino that would have straddled the Boston-Revere border.

The new vote in Revere could be held in February. If approved, Mohegan Sun could compete with a proposal by Wynn Resorts in Everett for the sole resort casino license in eastern Massachusetts.
