Types of Casinos in Massachusetts

Governor Deval Patrick signed a bill in late 2011 that legalized casinos in Massachusetts. The law allows three casinos, in three different geographic regions, plus one slot parlor. That slot parlor, Plainridge Park Casino, is a harness racing track located about 40 miles southwest of Boston, and it opened on June 24, 2015.

The first resort-casino license in Region B (Western Massachusetts) was awarded to MGM Resorts and their $1.3 billion casino, MGM Springfield, is expected to open in late 2018. The second license for Region A (Eastern Massachusetts) was awarded to Wynn Resorts and their $2 billion, Encore Boston Harbor, is expected to open in mid-2019. The Encore Casino, when it opens, will be the closest casino to Boston. The final license for Region C (Southeastern Massachusetts) had not yet been awarded as of early 2018.

Additionally, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is planning to build a destination resort casino near Taunton. That facility, First Light Casino, was expected to open by early 2019. However, the project has been hampered by lawsuits which might stop it from being completed.

Gaming regulations for Massachusetts casinos require a minimum payback of 80% on all gaming machines. The minimum gambling age is 21 for all Massachusetts casinos.

Wynn LLC has been licensed to build a $1.6 billion five-star resort and casino at Everett near Boston. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission approved Wynn's application over proposals from Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs.

BROCKTON CASINO - REJECTED 4.28.2016
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission can issue one more casino license for the southeastern part of the state. Mass Gaming & Entertainment had proposed a $650 million casino in Brockton about 17 miles north of Taunton, however the Gaming Commission decided in April 2016 to reject their application. The 4-1 vote against the Brockton casino did not rule out approval of a future commercial casino in the region.

A gaming compact between the state and the Mashpee Wampanoag requires the tribe to pay the state 17 percent of its gambling revenues. Commercial casinos pay 25 percent. If a commercial casino is licensed in the same region, the Mashpee Wampanoag will pay nothing.
