Poker Rooms in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has two major commercial casinos offering poker since Encore Boston Harbor opened in 2019. Encore leads with approximately 25 tables and a luxury setting, while MGM Springfield serves western Massachusetts. Boston players previously had to travel to Connecticut or Rhode Island; the state now has premium local options.
Legal Framework
Massachusetts Gaming Commission regulates all commercial casinos under the Expanded Gaming Act of 2011. Poker rooms are operated as part of resort casino licenses.
