Encore Boston Harbor, the luxury casino in Everett, opens its doors Sunday as part of the state’s Phase 3 plan that began Monday. Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville was the first casino to. The casino is beautiful and the staff is nice and the layout is good. However, the payouts on the slots is the worst I have seen in any casino. I actually had one penny slot do a 20 free spin at 3x multiplier and won only $9. This same situation at any other casino would have pulled well over $100. The payouts are terrible and is pretty obvious.

With so many casinos piling into the many states throughout the country – everyone is wondering what is coming next, who is getting what and what this means for the cities that they are being put in. As far as we known, Wynn Resorts put their bid in to the Boston board for approval – as well as some others for the casino space that is proposed for the area – and Wynn won with a $2B dollar proposal. Not only is this casino going to have games, but it is going to have a luxury resort, as well.

The site for this new casino and high end luxury resort?

A previous chemical plant site that is in the area. Not only is the site expansive, but it is not longer being used and is just sitting there. Wynn wants to go in, clean it up and put their buildings within the area. Not only is this something that can help clean up the scenery around the area, but the lawmakers for the state are hoping that it can bring good jobs and revenue to the area.

Many people are looking forward to the casinos going into the various places along the east coast, but is this something that is good, or bad news? Is this really going to help the areas out, or will they bring more crime and trouble with them than they are worth.

The casinos in Atlantic City are seeing tough times as so many of them close their doors for good and are unable to provide to those customers that want to come in and play – even the long time comers have to say goodbye to what was their dedicated casino spot.

The future is the only one that can let us know how these new casinos are going to do in the new areas that they are going up in. They are the ones that are going to be able to show whether or not having a casino in any given area can help with not only the jobs but the financial aspects that many of the states are feeling after the long time recession.

Sports betting was not the only gambling-related matter left on the cutting room floor when the final economic development bill emerged from five months of negotiations early Wednesday morning. Negotiators also scrapped plans to have the Gaming Commission take a serious look at the circumstances around the one casino license left unissued.

The state’s 2011 expanded gaming law gave the Gaming Commission the power to grant up to three resort casino licenses. So far, two have been awarded — to MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor in Everett. Region C — the commission’s name for Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket counties — has been an unsettled matter for the commission for years.

Ever since the Gaming Commission rejected a commercial casino proposal in Brockton in 2016, questions have lingered over whether a developer would put up the minimum $500 million for a casino that would face competition from the three gaming facilities already open here and nearby casinos in other states. Adding to the complexity of the situation is the possibility that the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe could revive its plan for a $1 billion casino in Taunton regardless of whether the Gaming Commission decides to reopen the process to license a third resort casino in Massachusetts.

Rep. Carol Doherty, a Taunton Democrat, co-sponsored language that was included in the House’s economic development bill in July that would have required the Gaming Commission to produce “an evaluation of economic conditions within region C and surrounding areas with respect to the region’s ability to sustain” a resort casino and an evaluation of the likelihood that a resort casino applicant could submit an application that would provide value to the region before 2024.

The Gaming Commission has addressed Region C in fits and starts in recent years, but in early 2020 sought answers to specific and business-related questions around a potential market analysis of Region C through a formal request for information. The pandemic upended the commission’s plans to review the feedback it received, but the commission has said it still intends to delve more deeply into the matter.
